nonsense. alcohol is good for you. unless you get wasted and beat your wife and crash your car. in fact almost any drug you can use if not bad for you if you use it properly. the study might as well say that cupcakes are dangerous. because they are. but not if you manage them properly. so the problem is not with the cupcakes or alcohol, but with the user.
You are the first person to declare that people are idiots. Use an addictive substance properly, indeed. :rolleyes33: Its obvious that alcohol has taken a greater toll on society than any other drug. Medically, socially, physically, intellectually, . . . you name it.
true. the stress relief has helped us enormously. and there is no telling how many relationships have been saved. ever been on a first date where your date doesnt drink at all? terrifying, say goodbye to your confidence. think faulkner could have knocked out classic novels without alcohol? no way. he would have exploded. alcohol is am amazing drug that helps us out enormously. without it i would be far less happy. drugs are not bad for you. being an idiot that cant use them properly is bad for you. you just have to be smart. i dont smoke weed, i know it isnt a good idea for me. it would make me less happy. so i dont smoke it more than once ever 5 years or so. i am a smart manager of it. same with alcohol. when i get stressed out i like to drink and relax and have fun. it makes life more enjoyable, and tastes incredible. i love it. it is a drug that helps me be a happy person. i dont get drunk and ruin lives or beat people up or drive. i get drunk and party, and it is awesome. drugs are awesome. alcohol is bad in the same sense that food is bad. food is killing folks too, if thats the way you analye things. but thats a dumb way to look at it. people that eat too much are killing themselves, by the millions.
Let me try again. It's not about alcohol and YOU. It's not about YOU at all. I'm sure you can overcome demon whiskey and leap tall buildings in a single bound. Your faith can change it into water. Alcohol is worse for humankind than other addictive substances.
i think you could make an argument that food is worse for humanity than alcohol. especially among modern americans, with whatever it is, like 2/3 of them being fatasses. but if i made that point it would reveal the flaw in the argument. abuse of something is a bad idea. the thing itself might be pretty great, like alcohol is.
