Let's see how quickly this thread dies...
No, I don't have a drinking problem... I have a problem with people who drink past the point of light enjoyment or for health benefits. Here is my problem... Drinking past this point turns every person I've ever known (or not known) into idiots. Considering the dumbed down state of our citizenry already... do we really need idiots acting even more idiotic than normal?
I'm so tired of hearing the excuse "I'm sorry, I was drunk at the time". Now, I don't hang out with folks that need to say that, but just relating it to news stories, sit-coms, entertainers... forum posters... etc.
Disclosure: As a rule, I don't drink aside from an occasional glass of wine for the ol' ticker.
Anyone else share this view?
Anyone have a reason why drinking to excess is acceptable?
