Two points:
1) Zeraph... you display the same characteristics I find in those who don't drink alcohol. I'm not talking about recovering addicts rather those who don't drink because they don't like to be "weak". What it comes down to, for me, is a massive character flaw. Being a control freak to that level is not a plus. I generally don't trust people like this because they don't trust themselves.
2) Martian (and others who are taking the position that it doesn't hurt anyone else) as you live in Canada and partake of the health system here, there a limit to the, "I'm not hurting anyone but myself" mantra. In a public healthcare system where we all share the cost of healthcare, where do we draw the line on people's unhealthy activities? Should the system, replace the liver of someone with sirrosis brought on by alcohol consumption? What about obese people needing knee replacement surgery due to overeating? What about lung cancer in smokers? Etc.
I am playing devils advocate here, so don't take me in the wrong way, but should this be taken into consideration?
