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.

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 must admit i used to drink a hell of a lot, but i don't anymore, however if i go out i do do what is classed as "binge drinking"...although i won't be getting plastered in reading

i "enjoy" putting quantitys of bud away , there is no peer pressure involved i drink beer because i like it......
on the wine front my other half can drink me under the table and still clear the fridge of bud when her wines ran out.....drink like fish these women do

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

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

Atomic22 · 19-10-2003, 17:46

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
