Abuse of anything is bad, but alcohol in moderation isn't that bad for you.

If I don't drink beer I drink Bacardi Limon + Coke

Who said that drugs are bad?

Snorting a little coke or injecting some crystal meth isn't that bad for you either, if in moderation.

Still, what I meant to say, was that if people keep drinking, they form a dependancy on alcohol. I know people who said they drink in moderation, yet after a day or two, drink some more because they can't get off it. Alcohol isn't needed for "social" purposes. You can still have a good time without alcohol.

Lech, drugs (as in Illegal drugs) are bad because they have harmful side effects. I don't mean perscription drugs that can have harmful side effects, but not on everyone who takes them. I also don't mean if perscription meds are abused.

I am a responsible adult who makes my own choices. I have always made good ones and will continue to do so. I don't do drugs or anything of the sort and I don't "have to have" alcohol, but I do like to drink occasionally and I don't see anything wrong with that.

I drink alcohol occasionally when I go out with friends and there's nothing wrong with me as far as I know?

I like strawberry daquaris and strawberry margaritas(sp) Havn't had one in over a year though:D

Look, I never said any of you were "bad people" because you drink. I just said I don't agree with it and some reasons as to why. Now let's drop this :censored: subject.

We weren't getting bent out of shape over it or anything. You posted your opinion so we replied with ours. It's no big deal.;)

I have never been drunk before but I have drank a wine cooler or 2 back in the day;)

That's a blanket generalization that certainly does not apply to everyone. I know plenty of people who drink alcohol without developing any dependency whatsoever. I happen to enjoy the taste of beer and wine. That doesn't make me an alcoholic simply because I knock back a few cold ones.

I believe that was Mr. Mackey, mmmkay?

I agree with Dogstar, that is a generalization that cannot be made. Everyone is different.

That isn't our intent, Colin. Sorry if you are disappointed in us, we are all different people.

Frozen mudslide kick arse!!!

I drink maybe once a month if that!! Drinking occasionally to relax is no big deal. You have to have limits and follow them. Higher desire, good for you for not drinking! I don't think it's a thing you have to do to socialize, but there's nothing wrong with doing it sometimes if your of age.

Ohhhh, marlsy, you are so right about the mudslides...and everything else :D.

Excellent point Marlsy. And you're right about the Mudslides as well.
