Personally I'd rather do what I want, enjoy myself, not worry to much and die younger then lead a long life of abstaining from the things I enjoy. Obviously there are limits and I employ a degree of moderation but the primary objective of my life is too enjoy the handful of years I have on this planet. I suppose some people dont enjoy alcohol and thats fine.

feck man, you've obviously never met any alkies. those people are more fucked up than your worst nightmares.

i like to get plastered a few times a year, but if somebody else chooses not to, it's none of my business to persuade them to do so. fact is that alcohol unlike othre drugs is poisonous to every cell of the body, from the brain to the gonads, not just the liver, and if you choose to take poision, you shouldn't feel morally superior-- matter of fact you should be able to enjoy yourself without chemicals. the other day i went to a melt-banana show & had a blast just drinking bottled water. it's not so hard you know.

of course may i remind you, i like to get plastered every now & then, so i'm not preaching abstinence. but what ploesj said is true and what you said is a bunch of rationalizing horse dung

but hey, welsh drunks like dylan thomas are fine by me.
