The reason I'm anti-drinking is probably because I went to school and discovered how people are achoholics. I decided then and there that I would never drink...Just in case I got carried away. I'm a worrier, but I really have got to get into medical school! Anything that could possible stop me is EVIL! And that is the reason behind the madness.

I've never experienced LSD "flashbacks" either, thank God! A wackier, more evil drug was never created! Tracers are fun, but after that, ughhh! Altering your perception, with no control over it is totally stupid. I don't know what Timothy Leery was thinking. All drugs are dumb for the reason Renille said, they stop your progress. On my 70th b-day, I'm asking for some pipeweed! . By then it won't matter much, I guess. (only 23 more years to go! )

i fully respect someone that has made a descision not to do things like drink and drugs. They are not only a good way to harm yourself but ive never found a quicker way to lose money (maybe marridge will solve that ).
How old are you though? I mean it wasnt till i was 13 and was encoraged to go out drinking by my family (perenting today) that i took it up as a past time. Its allright saying that now but if you dont drink you miss out on a lot of life. I know medical students they are right up there in terms of drinking. Drugs and alchol can bring so much plesure if used in modiration

Well drinking is big at the school I go to so I understand the feeling. My view is if you're moderate then it won't do great harm. But my friends (and for that me matter I've) done dumb things while drinking.

Those things? Weddings? No, not really, my husband and I eloped. We are both too frugal to spend all that money so a bunch of our so called "friends" can get drunk and waste a lot of food. I'd rather buy furniture! I was so nervous standing in the clerk's office in Nashville Indiana, that I can't even imagine doing a big wedding! I'd puke for sure! Then start crying!

No, DON'T make it legal!
Thanks, everyone, for your support. I have been asked such questions as, "Haven't you EVER drunk anything?? Everyone has." To which I am forced to mumble...no. Sween , to answer your question, I am turning 16 in exactly 19 days! Can't wait. But that has nothing to do with anything.

Back to topic, don't you think that drugs (legal and illegal, and the various mechanisms of getting off your face, have always had a place in society and always will? It's an important life-lesson if you can learn how to deal with them. But the best thing is if that doesn't involve total abstinence. While abstinence might work for some, it's not realistic for many or most. Last edited by Dunadan : 10-11-2002 at 06:26 AM. |

Abstinence is a good thing, and besides at 15 I hadn't drank yet. Then the downward spiral begins...
Or as Queen's university puts it-frosh think they're alcoholics-3rd years know they're alcoholics.
