I tend to agree with you Sybe, like I said, nothing wrong with drinking, especially the kind of examples you gave, but I've seennpeople turn into real arseholes, and I've seen some lives ruined. Add that to the fact that I never really liked drinking all that much, I just thought 'fuck it' and gave up. England has a real drink culture, all people do is go out on the weekend and get totally fucked, like it's cool or something.

Yeah, I totally agree that there's nothing wrong with it. To paraphrase my pastor (which is not to say that my opinions on alcohol are necessarily formed by my religion, but that he said this recently, and I thought it was a pretty interesting view that I happen to share), he said that (contrary to what most people think of Southern Baptists, which is what I am) he didn't think alcohol was wrong, and that he used to drink. But he came to the realization that it doesn't really do anybody any good, but it has the potential to do harm, so he came to the same conclusion you did (the 'fuck it' part may or may not have actually been spoken
) and stopped. And especially since I come from a family that is pretty bad with addiction, I just don't see the point in getting involved."I'm gonna get high on life!"
