Well ok there are two sides to drinking like there is for everything in this world,there are always pros and cons about everything. What i dont understand is why do people completely put drinking down because it can be a lot of fun all you have to do is keep it under control. Meaning when you know you are going out to have a good time with your friends and you know that you will be drinking, make sure that you have a designated driver and a friend who you can trust and is responsible just in case you get a little to tanked. You can have a great time with your friends drinking just as long as you keep it under control. If you are the sobor one and you think that your friend should be cut off then cut them off doesnt matter what they say to you back there not in the right state of mind, your just taking care of them. Now on the other hand drinking also has been a result of a lot of bad things as well, but like i said you just have to go about it responibily. They should know not to get into a car while they cant see straight and you cant blame it on the alcohol because its you who sat in the car and drove it not the alcohol. Im not premoting drinking because you should drink accessibly because that is a dangerous to your health, but at the same time there is no harm having a little fun at a friends house while drinking

You are absolutely right about if someone has to drink just to have fun they have a problem i agree completely. If they want to drink let them however its that persons choice onto how far they would want to take it. I dont know if i made it clear but the point i was trying to put forth was that people shouldnt be judged for drinking, which you kindly put that you werent and the rest of the comments as well but thank you for your input.
Yeah, so I'm a prohibitionist because to me, any level of drinking "just for fun" isn't for me. Now I'm not going to wave a picket sign at you for drinking, but alcohol has so many negative effects that outweigh the positives (i.e. anti-cancer) that I just stay away from it. I guess also I like to feel that I'm in control and when you drink, even the littlest amount, you're not in full control.
I'm with the other two on this one as well. Drinking and drugs are a tremendous waste of time an money. I have plenty of other things I can do with that time and money that are much more fun. I personally have a complete blast without being drunk. I've never been drunk and have no desire to be so drunk I can't remember what I did, or WHO I did, for that matter. And being so sick you puke?? What's fun about that?? No thanks... I'll stick with my Coca Cola and spend the evening laughing at the drunken fools....
