I think being an ass is a hell of a lot more dangerous than using drugs of any kind. Many more "accidents" happen to asses than to drug users. You act like an ass on the internet, because you think nobody can "accidentally" break your jaw when you are hiding behind a computer screen. But your still an ass, and fewer and fewer people here like you everyday because you insult them and call them names just because you can, or because they disagree with you about a movie or video game. You may not care about that, but perhaps you should. You certainly have nothing to be proud of yourself about.

Because people getting drunk at bars (using drugs) every night act so proper and stuff always goes smoothly at bars, and drinking never makes people act ridiculous, you dont get out much do you? Oh and your right I hear about numerous stories detailing how people have horrible things happen to them for being so out of line on the internet, its a much larger number compared to say Drunk driving deaths...hahahaha. You have so much to be proud of by putting someone in their place online, someday I can only hope to be proud of what I do on internet forums and lead such a fulfilling life :p

You continue to amaze me with your ability to completely misinterpret what other people say. Congrats. :)

What I was pointing out is, Responsible today, reckless tomorrow. Its just that easy at times with drugs. But now its clear since you can be responsible you have anecdotal evidence to back up your air tight defense.

It's usually the other way around.  It's usually reckless today (read: young and stupid), responsible tomorrow (read: older and wiser).  Yeah, sure, I know a few high school people that can drink responsibly, but those are rare.  But I know a fair share of adults that can drink with no problem (cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, friends, coworkers, etc, etc, etc).

I'd even go so far as to say that most people don't start out drinking responsibly.  But as they get older, they become much more responsible.  I can honestly say that I'm one of the few people I know that didn't drink through high school, yet I still got hammered on the weekends after I turned 21.  I got wasted off my ass, but I was still smart enough to not go driving anywhere or be on 2nd story balconies.  And as I got older, and had more responsibilities, I became a more responsible drinker.

I dare say that there are far more responsible drinkers (and pot smokers) then there are irresponsible ones.  But you never hear about the responsible ones because they aren't getting in trouble.  Of the top 10 causes of death in the US, motor vehicle accidents comes in as part of number 5 (accidental deaths) and only 37% of those are "alcohol related" (15,829 according to http://www.alcoholalert.com/drunk-driving-statistics.html).

This isn't about "anecdotal evidence".  It never was.  It's about your claims that drinking and smoking pot cannot be done responsibly.  If it couldn't be done responsibly, then I would think that every person that ever takes a drink of alcohol or smokes a joint would just fall down dead.

Hmm more anecdotal evidence :) That group they have oh whats it called oh yeah AA, that has nothing to do with adults and its member population is truly tiny, probably only a couple hundred :p

AA also has a pretty low success rate.  Something like under 10-20% if I'm not mistaken.  That means 80% of the people that try it fail.  Programs that teach people how to consume alcohol in moderation have much higher success rates.

Besides, I never said everybody drinks responsibly.  I said people CAN drink responsibly.  But I guess it doesn't matter that the majority of the population isn't involved with AA.  If a huge portion of the population were going to AA meetings on a regular basis, it would be pretty newsworthy.

This is the thread that doesn't end, yes it goes on and on my friend...

Um the success rate was not the point. The fact is that according to you, people are “much more” responsible as they get older (with nothing but anecdotal evidence to back up your claims). Yes as people get older they mature, but I don’t know of much objective evidence between getting old and drinking responsibly, as is noted by AA clubs and Programs that you brought up that teach people to drink in moderation, which by the way just further enforces that people have trouble drinking responsibly and that there are many adults having these issues.

 

Yes you have said that people CAN drink responsibly (and were so happy you can :p) , as I have said, my point was that you can be responsible today and reckless tomorrow. Just because you become an adult does not guarantee you step away from the realm of irresponsible drinking. You have stated to the effect that anything in life can go wrong while doing anything, expect to a person who drinks responsibly because apparently someone who can drink responsibly can never ever drink irresponsible one time and in that one time nothing could possibly go wrong. Someone stating that I know how to be responsible I have gone through my plastered drinking stage and I now and forever know how to drink responsible and I will never be irresponsible while drinking and even though I could never ever ever be irresponsible when drinking a future time, nothing unexpected could occur due to my irresponsible drinking one time even though I would never be irresponsible, ever. No your right thats not foolish to think at all :p hahahaha

Funny. :)

My interest in people being wrong may be vain in many ways, but I do have my own reasons for dwelling upon it. At the very least, it's not anymore worthless than what you're doing on the internet.

You dwell upon it? Hahahahahaha Jeez man thats intense you have got to discuss more in here, it is just way too hilarious how much this stuff means to you. Worthless? No way like I said, moderately entertaining :p but Im starting to think having you talk about the importance of the Internet would make the level of entertainment go much higher :p

Far from it I think its funny seeing it "up," there so the longer it stays the better.

The all knowing all logical member seems to have completely misinturperted something on the internet...doesnt get much better :)

GA26, you're retarded.  It really is that simple.  I take offense to your implication that people who say they can drink responsibly might one day not drink responsibly.

How is it foolish to know ones limits?  Seriously, answer that question.  If I know that as long as I'm not sick, I can drink 1 or 2 beers per hour (that's not very much either) and be totally fine, what's the problem with that?  What, am I going to lose count of how many I've had while the empty's are stacked on the counter?  Am I not going to notice that I'm getting a little drunk if I have 3 or more in one hour or even over 2 hours?  Do I not have the capability to stop?  To simply say "No thanks" when the waitress comes by to ask if I'd like another?  Or to just not grab another one out of the fridge at home?  Even when I was getting plastered on the weekends, which was over 10 years ago mind you, I knew I was getting plastered and wasn't stupid enough to go anywhere (yes, we always put the car keys away and never went out for more liquor).  If/when I have a bad cold, I simply don't drink.  And yes, it really is that easy to decide "hey, I can't drink tonight because I have a bad cold and I don't want to make it worse".

Maybe in your world people can't think for themselves.  Maybe in your world people have such low self-esteem that any kind of offer or "pressure" makes them cave.  In my world, people don't have to drink if they don't want to.  And if they do want to, they can be stopped from going overboard (yes, I have taken keys away from people before) or they know when they've had enough.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Your totally right "it can never happen to me" nothing could ever go wrong. Everyone knows their limits and those who do have never had something slipped into their drink. Seriously nothing can ever go wrong when your drinking and responsible. Its not documented at all that motor skills decrease even with a couple drinks, and since thats not true someone could never misjudge something simple like a step and fall down stairs. Heck every convicted murderer need only state they are now a different person and they will never do anything criminal again and as long as they make a statement like that we should with blind devotion believe it. I mean living in a world based in reality how could anything go wrong. Everything is always totally and 100% controllable in life, there are never any exceptions to the rule. Outside factors are never important, and everyone always always makes the right choice in every situation. Murphy's Law is a total fabrication and everything always goes according to plan. And it would be completely unreasonable to not believe any of that :p

Yeah, no, for some reason the whole childish gay joke just doesn't bother me. With this thread you have really managed to insult yourself more than anybody else. Fortunately for you, you don't care what others think about you. If you did, then you'd be the one wanting this thread dead and buried. I am just thrilled that your immature nonsense is now being confined to this thread for the most part, rather than plaguing any other discussions on these boards.

@ everybody other than GA, I have no idea why you guys are still arguing over this. It is the dumbest argument. Of course people can drink responsibly, people do it all the time. Why would you even consider arguing with somebody who makes such an outrageous claim that it is impossible to drink responsibly? This whole argument is so painfully idiotic. It is like having a serious debate as to the exact number of licks it really takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop, so unbelievably futile. Feel free to continue if you like, but please step away from the computer and reflect on how dumb it is to argue about this before deciding to go on and prove GA wrong.

I didnt think it bothered you, I think its funny. I know how important it must be to you that awful bad arguments arent affecting the rest of your frequented forum, its such a tragedy when an Internet forum is not up to its usual stellar topics. What a bad day it must be when an Internet forum isnt producing really deep thought provoking discussion, whats the point in getting out of bed with out that :)

Yes make a general delceraion to the others to stop and dissest when you have contributed to this thread more than most. Ignore the fact that you have been unable to simply not contribute to what you consider worthless and stupid nor have you soiled your prestine image on the net what so ever, your truly a "cut above" lol.

GhostAlpha26 said:

you can be responsible today

Obviously you got the point hahahaha

And maybe you could explain why you would consider it to them since you have LOL

I mean you had already made your judgment about me before this thread was created and yet you still continued to come back kept coming into a thread that should be dead and buried. I guess it takes a little while for ya to grasp somethings, its ok theres a lot of people with special needs :p

Come on Stinky ol' buddy. Don't let us down.

Actually, knowing that Murphy's law exists, it can be fairly well planned around.  If you know that everything that can go wrong will, you can usually plan around anything that might happen.  As a network admin, I actually deal with Murphy's law on a fairly regular basis.

Murphy's law isn't so much a law of reality as it is a statement of poor choices and improper planning anyway.  Driving down the road, you might get a flat.  But if you've taken proper care of your car, you'll have a spare and you can go on.  The flat is murphy's law, the spare is the contingency for it.  And that's just one example.

Anyway, have fun in a world where you can't trust the people you drink around.  I don't put myself in those kinds of situations (which are almost always in bars and clubs, so basically around people you don't know), so my chances of having that happen are pretty low.  Oh, I know, I'm sure a close friend or relative could do it, but I probably have a better chance of winning the lottery and I almost never play the lottery (there's that control thing).

BTW, you are aware that the effects of alcohol are related to your weight, right?  So a 200 lb person will show different effects (almost none that is) than a 100 lb person after just one drink.  The 100 lb person won't be safe to drive for at least one hour after one drink, whereas the 200 lb person can have 2 or 3 drinks in one hour and still be under the legal limit and still not notice the effects of alcohol.  Obviously if someone slips something into either drink, it's game over.  But since when did drinking responsibly have anything to do with people spiking drinks?

Hmm I dont know how much I should write to someone who took offense from what another said they consider to be "retarded" hahahaha

Again it seems you see the point. Just because someone can drink responsibly does not mean something cant go wrong (i.e. slipping something in a persons drink) but again nothing can possibly go wrong as long as someones responsible :)

And Im glad you could "disprove" ~3 of the numerous reasons I listed, covered all the bases :p

You do realize that's true of any drink though.  I could be drinking water (or even soda) among total strangers and someone could slip something into my drink.  That doesn't fall under responsible drinking though, that falls under borderline criminal intent.  The only way to really drink water "irresponsibly" is to drink way to much of it and kill yourself.  But then someone isn't spiking your drink in that case either.

The problem with your logic is that it always assumes that those people who are drinking are always drinking at a bar/club/pub.  What about the person at home who's drinking from a beer they bought in a store?  Let's say they live alone and the beers are all sealed up in the refrigerator.  Are you seriously suggesting that some magical person can slip something into that persons drink?

This originally started because you made the assumption that people thinking they can drink responsibly were obviously just deluding themselves since anything can go wrong at any time.  Now you're obviously changing the argument to be people drinking in a social situation among assholes who think it's funny to spike someones drink (again, that's not about the person doing the drinking, that's about the asshole that decides to spike the drink).  I'm sure there are plenty of people here that don't do that, so your whole argument falls apart.

Just because it can happen in certain situations, doesn't mean that's how things always happen.  The sun could explode by the time I finish this post, but that doesn't mean it will.
