hmmm well, tis is a good argument, here's the facts. did you know that you can drink everyday for 20 or 30 years, and you could still not be addicted? coz only about 8% of people you drink from a young age will become alcoholics, compared to drugs and smoking (which if you smoke or take drugs from a young age you are 100% likely to become an addict, within a year) that's pretty good. it all depends on how you drink, when you drink, why you drink (probly the most important question) how you drink, and where. if you can drink responsibly, you will most likely not become an alcoholic, if you dont drink a lot, maybe once in a fortnight, or twice, it reduces the chance even more. so
*shrugs* drink if you want to, i know i do. but i only drink about once every month, or three months. so it's not gona do much to harm me. and alcohol IS a hard subject for me, i cant really say why.. but im telling you i know alcoholics, so im not stupid and i do know what the stuff can do to you over time... but anyway, maybe we should make a new topic for this, could be interesting to see people's points of view.
by the way im sorry if this offended you in anyway, it's your choice to drink or not and no one should be able to tell you otherwise. it's just my opinion.
