funniest thing is when i hear people who don't drink jusitfy not drinking because they want to live to see their kids grow old, but then step outside and suck down a pack a cigarettes a day. fact is, vices are supported by and profited on by the very people who say "don't do this" or "don't do that", mainly government and mass media companies. you can't turn on t.v. without seeing a show with booze as a product placement, or plotlines written around all the things that make life interesting, drugs and alcohol. sad but true, society endorses them through many means of financial support not linked to directly purchasing the vice. alcohol is a dangerous drug, worse than some that are illegal, but its not the alcohol's fault that people use it irresponsibly. just like a gun, it takes a person to do wrong with it.
Fact: I never tried any drug in my life, besides alcohol.
and never intend to
I never understood why people are so proud of not trying drugs... Can someone clue me in? They are just like the "I will never have sex before marriage" or "I can't eat pork/beef/whatever because it's against my religion" idiots... being a brainwashed conformist idiot must be a bitch... I would think someone who peddles porn for a living would be a little more open minded than this...

Without alcohol, we probably never would have civilized.
Without civilization, we'd still be a hunter-gatherer society... eventually set to discover alcohol the moment we decided to start experimenting in regards to our environment.
Without civilization - not a whole lot in the "law" department.
