georgerussia 0 #26 July 24, 2007 Quote Better to teach kids that alcohol is a waste of their time. Drunk people are not reponsible people. I'd rather see a generation that will completely boycott alcohol. I teach my daughter that religion is waste of her time. Religious zealots are not responsible people, which has been proven by the history. I'd rather see a generation that will completely boycott religion. (and someone could tell exactly the same about anything, including skydiving). Quote It is sad that alcohol is viewed as the fun thing to do. All of the "cool" and "beautiful" people drink. Just look at how wonderful their lives are. What a load of crap and lies. A lot of people drink alcohol, and live normal lives. Quote Alcohol is responsible for a huge number of illness, deaths, divorces, murder, crimes of all types, wife beatings, rapes, child beatings, car accidents, fights, depression, sucide. The list is way to long. Correct: alcohol ABUSE is responsible for all of that. Not everyone who drinks alcohol is a wife beater, like not everyone who believes in Jesus is an inquisitor. Quote Why waste your time drinking something that is only going to make you feel like shit the next day? The answer probably is to drink responsibly. If someone eats a 6-pound chocolate cake for dinner, he most likely will feel like shit the next morning (and probably the next day). Quote As for 18yo's going to war and not being able to buy beer? Should an 18yo be able to buy tobacco? As it is now, one must be 21 to buy tobacco. Is it true everywhere? AFAIK in California you have to be 18 to buy tobacco.* Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. * Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Zipp0 1 #27 July 24, 2007 Quote Quote Quote I think he had the right idea in making alcohol less of a socially-acceptable thing. Alcohol is socially accpetable - being a raging drunk is not. Especially if it turns you into a serial chubby-chaser.Kidding. Bwaa haa. You are funny! I think SERIAL is a bit over the top, but whatever - big girls need lovin too!

France has a liberal attitude and low incidence of abuse. Where as the U.K, which also has a liberal-ish approach has a problem with young folk (in particular) abusing alcohol. So, it's not the access to booze that is the problem, it's the people involved. Or is it the difference between beer and wine? No one chugs cabernet.

That sounds like a lot of drinking! I drink alcohol most days (wine with dinner, beer after jumping) and I very rarely feel like shit the next day.
