due to the fact that this is a common topic of derailment and has even spilled into the most sacred thread of all i feel its important we consolidate our views and arguments about alcohol into this thread. personally i believe that if you use alcohol in moderation and use it responsibly most of the time then its fine to indulge in it if it makes you happy. others feel differently. discuss if you want but lets keep it confined to here and not have it spill (pun) into other threads.
I surfed Assateage (fed OSV zone) a few times over the weekend. sandbars, cold water, quite a crowd on it down at the bend. opps wrong treade!
"I come from a family of alcoholics, I myself stopped drinking 30 years ago. I can say that alcohol is not healthy for anyone other than someone that can literally drink just one and stop. The way to measure whether you are an alcoholic or not is how you drink when you drink. If you get drunk or buzzed every time you drink even if it's once a week you have a problem. I can also guarantee that anyone who drinks a lot is more likable sober then drunk. The only people who like being around drunk people are other drunk people." -- Zippy Well spoken by Z-man (I took the liberty of freeing his post from the hallowed ground treade & plopping it here)
some ppl got bad stories from drinking, some have good stories. i have a bunch of good stories from it, so i'm super thankful i'm not addicted or a complete drunkard all the time. the whole how many drinks a week thing is a pretty stupid measurement, but if you don't have any friends who drink then it might be useful. for example, i was in the doctor's office last year, and the table said i was in good weight. i'm skinny for my size, and always have ppl telling me so. well five more pounds at the time would make me a fat@ss. the numbers thing can be pretty weak assessments in other wurds. try not get hung up on it ppls. i don't count my waves ridden either

What I find interesting is that every flat out alcoholic I know is big time against weed. Even the ones that drink and drive have this feeling that they are better than the smokers who just sit in their home. Just odd.
I found the opposite as well- dope heads criticizing alcoholics. Teapot calling the kettle black and vice versa. Both are morons. I was both at one time or another.....but not anymore.
I assumed the NOFX song would have been Bob .... or California Drought .... or Whoops I OD'd .... or I Am An Alcoholic .... or I Wanna Be an Alcoholic ... or Seeing Double at the Triple Rock .... wow Fat Mike really has an alcohol problem.

I don't drink because no one likes me when I do! I have progressed to that a-hole everyone remembers! I have progressed so I cant just have one! I have no problem with drinkers and I sure as hell love my stoner pals! I'm just on a break from weed. how long? who knows! work and life are better when I'm not a slave to a drink or a drug so it might be a long time. as for beer and liquor, I should treat it like a allergy, if I drink Ill die!
booze is bad mmkayy... yea I'm with the moderation guy whoever said it first,as long as u can do it in moderation u will be fine.i drink 1 day a week and that's Saturday and I usually get a 200ml bottle and that's it,finish the thing in an hour,barely even get buzzed but I'm not looking to go all out ,I'm not a kid anymore... people who drink everyday tho,are the same as junkies.if they do not have their fix they will have the shakes,cold sweats,etc. u know its one thing to have a 6 pack at the end of the day,but its another to wake up to a 30 pack.so.... weed is safer
