Is it you or the alcohol talking?

Sorry to disappoint you. I don't drink or use drugs, but just because I choose that I don't think everyone else should be forced to follow what I decide for my own body. Adults should have the choice to put those things in their bodies as long as the risks are known. With both drugs and alcohol, the risks are well known a published. Irrespective of my opinion, history is a good teacher of how miserable bans would fail. Humans are going to choose to drink and use drugs for the foreseeable future. Destroying their lives with laws or wars is not productive for our society.
