Alcohol is not worth it. And alcohol destroys lives, it really does, its not just some bullshit people like to throw around in Life Orientation class. I know way too many alcoholics.

I know a bunch of borderline-alcoholics too, and they're known as my mom's side of the family (note: I love them, not just ripping into them)...and I know better than to let that happen. Again, I only drink at special occasions, and it's because it IS fun at times. If there's absolutely nothing special 'bout the night, I can't make myself drink hardly if I tried...and that's great. I know a friend who likes to smoke pot, but will only allow himself to do it once every three months so he can keep himself straight. When somebody does something that rarely and responsibly, they already know the dangers of what you'd like to warn them about.
I appreciate your concern, it's just for a lost cause because our opinions on its enjoyment is different and I am already very muchso more responsible than many.
