I always wondered why in school they always give you big lectures about how smoking is bad but never alcohol, even though they can both damage your body. Anyhow getting more on-topic, that statistic doewsnt surprise me. After all people do like their alcohol in this country :)

Hallo kronas.I win the bet with myself.I knew you'd pick up on this one.


Have to say that this doesn't apply to me.I seldom drink and at the most it's a couple of glasses of wine or a couple of shorts or a half of lager ONCE a week.Some weeks I drink no alcohol at all.

My husband more than makes up for my abstinence though. ;)


Incog :cool:

i simply detest alcohol because it can be problomatic for some its not needed never drunk (not even a sip ) or smoked but thats just me

i have to agree though some women do like there alcohol from what i have seen :)

I respect people that dont drink. Its great that they dont give in to peer pressure or do something cos everyone else does. Having said that, I dont like it when people take the moral high ground about it. If they want to not drink then fine, but what other people do is up to them.

I used to Drink & Smoke but don't anymore, but I would rather see 100 Drunks walking along a street then 1 Junkie.

yes i have been offered a drink many times and have always refused i follow a strict set of my own rules on what i do and dont do and thats one i will never break

fair do's but i will still continue to voice my opnion on it ofcourse its up to the individual whether they should drink or not

yeh bring on the beer...
i dont smoke but i dont believe you can class drinkers and smokers in the same breath as junkies...
only one of the above is illegal the other two are not
