No, this isn't an afterschool special, but it would provide some sort of serious debate in here.

What are your views on drugs and/or alcohol? Do you do them at all?

I myself don't smoke, nor do I intend to. I've never had the desire to. Same goes with pot or anything else involving smoking it.

I don't do drugs, either. I've never felt they would be a proper release for me because whatever was wrong in my life would be waiting for me the very next day. It defeated the purpose.

Alcohol... I will drink on occassion. I've been drunk once, and didn't care for it... I mixed too many drinks and got really ill. I therefore drink now for the taste. I can't do it often because it burns right through me. (I have a bit of a liver/kidney problem.)

I don't approve of drinking constantly... I don't like where it leads to... -__-

Discuss!

Hmmm... I too haven't tried smoking or intend to. A few of my family members, older brother, uncles, aunts, do smoke and I have no intention in following in their foot steps....seeing how they look sick/ill most of the time I see them. ;_;

As for alcohol, I haven't really tried actually drinking it... I guess I haven't acquired a taste for it yet.

In my opinion, people shouldn't smoke( no offense to those who do)....it just doesn't lead to anyting. But drinking I can understand, casual drinking that is. Its just wrong to drink until your drunk almost everyday or any other chance you can get.


That's just me... I know theres people out there who would totally disagree with me, maybe even some on the boards, but that is my opinion!!!

OTHERS?

There have been like one or two occassions where I get all hyper and am like "lemme take a puff of yer cig mom!" but when I do I just start coughing. xD I admit I can see why people like smoking, but nah, not my thing.

I always sort of wanted to get buzzed. I actually did once on new years from chugging some beer. e_e; It was the slightest thing ever though, and I just got really hyper and called my cousin just... laughing. I tried beer/vodka/whatever else but for some reason my taste-buds don't match with it, I take sips of stuff and nothing so far I have liked in the least. =/

Just about my entire family smokes and/or drinks, me and me cousin are wondering if it will run in the family and we'll one day be the related ones in a bar :: stares at her mom and uncle :: like that.

But as far as now, I don't do anything like that at all. I don't approve fully, because not naming which member specifically, one of my family members went on a drinking spree, and was in the hospital for a while and had that.. thing, what was it called? Where it affects your brain, and you see things and stuff, but this family member is recorvered now which is a miracle because it's not that much of a high % for recovery. :\ Not to mention I get really mad when mom promises something and winds up ditching it and going out instead.

But yeah, I sort of like this thing Bloomberg made in New York, where I live. About not smoking in bars anymore, so a lot of people in bars are of course, mad about it. But all the same, they might not smoke as much then since they wanna drink. Another good thing is if they wanna smoke instead, they won't get as drunk. I mean it's not a GOOD thing. -_- Getting one or the other, but better than both.

Hi guys :lol: I guess I'm the bad apple here. I party pretty much every week.

I only drink at parties but find myself insanely drunk at least twice a month. For the life of me I don't know why. I hate the taste of all alcohol (unless I mix the drink myself) and it accomplishes nothing but make me look stupid. Not to mention nothing sux more than having to go to work with a hangover. I don't always have fun those nites because I drink more to keep up my rep. I do like the days that I'm the DD though. There's nothing like watching drunk people making fools of themselves. I find that way more entertaining than drinking itself.

As for smoking I am not really a smoker. I do smoke cloves at parties but I am not addicted to that either. A pack will last me like 2 months. And that's with friends always buming them from me.

As for the other stuff like drugs I did alot of bud smoking in high school but I'm way over that. and for serious drugs I refuse to touch them.

As for the reasons why people do these things everyone has their reasons. Some to escape reality and make one of their own. Other's like myself for social reason's. And other chose to do nothing at all because they don't see a point. I think that as long as you don't hurt anyone else the decision is yours to make. I only see it harmful when your actions endanger another innocent person. (like drunk driver's) I mean in the end you have to pay the consequenses for the choices you make.

This is my opinion and I could go on forever but I won't bore you guys anymore. Take care.

You're not a "bad apple". :p I don't know the 100% you of course, but still...

True... every person makes their own choice, and it should be there's solely unless they hurt another person in the midst of their actions.

But you shouldn't do it to keep your reputation up. :P You're awesome enough as it is! Sheesh!

Wow you managed to read my long and boring post ^_~

And you even had something nice to say after reading it. I appreciate that.

TD

It wasn't boring... I like seeing what other people think/feel about these things. ^_^

personally i can't stand cigaretts. my mom's been smoking since she was a teen and she tries to quit all the time, but hasn't been able to yet.
i think drugs are just plain stupid. you can relax and have fun without them. i have a couple friends who do drugs, and i've seen them a couple times when their high...not a pretty sight. as for alcohol.....i've never even had a sip, but i think having an age limit is dumb. i think there should defanetely be one in bars and restaurants, but i think if people were exposed to it earlier in life, they wouldn't always want to get drunk all the time, and less people would die from alcohol poisoning. atleast, that's what i think. um i think it's fine to go to a party and have a drink, but getting drunk is pretty pointless.
to sum it up......drugs-bad. XP lol sorry if i sound like a mother talking to her kid

I guess it's time for me to put in my 2 cents.

Smoking - Never done it. Never will. I had pnemonia when I was 2. That scarred my lungs enough that I've had pnemonia 7 more times. I have some smoker friends. Everytime I hang with them, I cough up a storm. So, no thanks!

Drugs - Don't use any not prescribed. As mentioned above, I've been sick a lot in my life. I figured if I started taking drugs "for fun" the ones I needed wouldn't work. Besides when I was in high school my boyfriend starting taking coke. While altered, he took a swing at me but I was able to dodge. He punched a whole in the wall. So, no thanks!

Alcohol - Yes, please! I love alcohol! All kinds but I prefer the hard stuff over beer. After three beers, I just want to fall asleep. But I can down a bottle of rum or vodka and be fine. I'd been drunk many times before I hit 21. Now, I drink because I like the taste and not to get drunk. I hate the feeling you get when you're drunk or more to the point, the morning after.

I couldn't agree with you more duotrouble,

THE MORNING AFTER SUX :wacko:

the scary thing is that it sounds like I'm a lightweight compared to you. :lol:

TD

:lol:

Hey! I like to drink occassionally. BUT -- it's more fun watching other people make fools of themselves. If I'm never drunk again, that would be fine. I socially and sometimes solitary drink for the taste. Never to excess anymore.

--duotrouble

:lol: I could learn a thing or two from you.

Hangovers suck but I never learn. At least I help keep the aspirin companies in business.
