Is it bad that I have no plans to stop drinking?
I mean I don't plan on stopping drinking soon or by a certain date, but eventually I will stop drinking.
It's just a matter of when life will get easy enough, to which I am trying to make life better, but the system in the US wants people to stay poor instead of getting ahead because you work hard and should be able to keep the money you make , but after tax and deductions like 1/3rd of your money is gone; plus I'm nearing the end of having braces, which was $200 a month, but I reduced to 170 a month.
Then you have to buy food and spend money on insurance and medicine, soon even $25000 a year is gone, but the government thinks you are sitting on a fortune.
Yes, I'm diagnosed as BIPOLAR-NOS, but I really don't see drinking as a problem when I've blacked out twice and the 2nd time I had to make sure my younger brother didn't drink too much and possibly loses his job (since we both live at home and it's tough even with 3 jobs in 1 household).

It's your life. Why would I give a sh*t? But if you're so worried about money then quitting drinking would be a good place to start. Vices are alot more expensive than people think. When I got put on probation I quit drinking, smoking weed, and cigarettes. You would be amazed how much extra cash I have to spend now. And it's not like I'm rich. I make like 1500 a month. It's all about whether you think it's bad, which you obviously do, or you wouldn't be asking this question. So the simplest way for me to help you with a decision objectively is a pros/cons list.
Drinking cons- It's expensive, it's makes you act stupid, it destroys your body and kills you.
Drinking pros- It's fun, it dulls the pain.
Sobriety pros- Strength of mind and body, better decision making, being in control.
Sobriety cons- It's boring, reeeally reeally boring.

It depends on how old you are. You don't necessarily have to stop drinking, but I'd recommend moderating it if you can. In your later years, it'd be wise to slow down to a stop for health reasons. And yes, if money is an issue, when you budget, alcohol will probably be one of the first things to get cut into.
Unfortunately, taxation is necessary to keep a country afloat. And I'm not sure what benefits or support you can get in the US.

Yeah, like wasting a little money on Alcohol is really my problem when the government is taking 30% of my money and they keep making things worse instead of better with trillions in debt to overseas countries like China

I don't know how you expect life to get better when you're actively wasting money on booze.
You're whining about stupid sh*t you can't control. Instead of working with what you got, you just whine and think drinking and blacking out is gonna fix anything.
