when i was in hs i used to drink a lot. like 5ths of vodka mostly to myself, scared relationships, uber embarrassment, and of course the toll on my body. basically i was the only one of my peers that would do this. i used to drink hard liquor to the point of od on a pretty regular basis. i wasn't an alcoholic but alcohol was slowing me down. now i'm passed that and alcohol really doesn't appeal to me. maybe i just got 'it' out of my system. i still enjoy beer in moderation when appropriate because beer is arguably the best drink made by man...anyway... now it seems like everyone around me is an avid binge drinker

i moved out of my parents house into an apt with some other student from my school i met on craigslist. they seemed like alright people at first, but it didn't take long for me to realize that i wouldn't want to have anything to do with them on a social level. so it's turned into more of an anthropological experiment, this living situation that is, since these people are so different from me. they're the 'standard' american college students.... not very intelligent and make it a point to get super wasted every weekend. all of their friends do the same thing. i had no idea alcohol was THIS popular, considering its' effects on the human mind and body. people literally cannot control themselves to the point of od. over vacation people drink every fucking day.

it can be neurotoxic. unforgivably addicting. that addiction can turn deadly. people become aggressive. the feeling is cheap. i can go on, but the point of this is; why the fuck is alcohol legal? if i drank as much as i smoked pot i would on the street with 1/3 the mental capacity. why is something to harmful on the shelves? something that can destroy minds and lives is sitting on the shelf in my local grocery store waiting to be picked up in mass quantity, no limit! is it just me or does it seem more than a little crazy? i mean, someone has brainwashed people to the point where they won't acknowledge alcohol as a drug and thats how they justify it's use. it kind of scares me

The better question is, why isn't pot legal? The answer is simple: FUD

fud?

pot is illegal because of politics

Because it's ingrained in society, has been since the dawn of man. You could talk about it until the cows come home.

You just have to find a different group of friends. That's all. Be glad you've 'been there and done that'.

Fuck off. If you don't like it, don't drink it. I suggest you chill the fuck out and possibly have a cold one instead of worrying about how shitty your fellow man is. Besides the fact that it can ruin lives is merely a symptom of it's awesomeness.

I lol'd.

mmm, sounds like someones going nowhere fast. crack another fifth!


trust me, i am. i have my addictions, but i'm glad it isn't that shit.

You sound like one of those faggoty priests who gets wasted and pisses himself once and then spends the rest of his life preaching it's evils and telling everyone about his wild youth. But whatever man, to each his own.

So I'll drink like a fish and sink like a stone and have a great time doing it ya boring bastard.

I do believe it is for this reason that alcohol commercials have the "please drink responsibly" disclaimer on it.

well, you missed with that one. but i'm sure it's safe to assume you're a fucking alcoholic loser. it's cool man, try to pick yourself up. no need to get angry at me.
