(oh and it never got into my social or proffesional life, hell it made my time at the uni a succes)
actually im still waiting for my first hangover!! lol what you say does have a good point but lets be honest no one has ever got there legs broke or shot over not being able to pay for drink! (at least not in the normal bar sense that iv work in lol) but its still not something you want to play around with, one wrong move with E and ur dead, same with herion! Alcohol is taking a risk! im glad you didnt ahve any problems with it but your one of a very very very small minority!

cuchulain i'm sure you'd find that a higher % of people would find giving up drink harder than an occasional drug user would giving up their poison.

aye but you can campare that to each other. what does you more damage drinking or herion? ocassional drinking is not going to do you tht mauch damage while herion could kill you first time you use it! also the drugs can be comtaninated making them 10 times as dangerious, theres no chance of that happening down ur local bar unless they sell poteen!

and when u use my name spell it with 2 ns bitch! lol

well speaking for society as a whole:

alot more illness, crime and death is experienced by a lot more people due to drinking than people doing smack..........


again on an individual level smack and meth will **** you up much worse than drink but the fact the vast vast majority of people will A: never touch heroin and B: drink regularly, what really does more damage overall?.......


i'm an occasionaly user and i can go months without taking or even wanting to do any kind of drugs whereas if i gave drink up for a month i'd be crawling the walls by the end of it. i'm sure most people would too when they consume alcohol alot and drugs irregularly.

Sure there were times when it was completely out of control, period 18-20. But it was always occasional, the line was crossed a few times but still.....
I never had physical problems not using it. Of course sometimes I really wanted to use something but somehow at those times I never did. I almost always needed a occasion for it...
As long as you keep it in the lines of occasional, its the best thing ever...
And as long as it's occasional, it doesn't do much more harm (if not less) then alcohol (not counting heroin, crack) and again it's much more fun
Time for new era for me now, but never regretted, had the best nights of my life with it, did the weirdest & craziest stuff on it...

It's prejudice to say it's **** you up when claiming to be drunk on same ratio (and having a hangover the next day )

I wouldn't be bragging about it big guy.
Even though it is good that you are clean now...
I have some friends who have lost their friends just 'cause they mentioned they have smoked weed... I think it's a little exaggerated but still... That kind of reputation is always bad... Unless you are a goodfella
I have learned it hard way:
Little time ago I had a little thing with one girl... So far so good but after beeing a week together some guys told me that she has gonorrhea... Then I asked her and she said yes. So it turned out that she had been lieing to me about it and that she was a totally bimbo... I also got to know that about 2 months ago she had taken a whole pack of depression pills and helicopter took her to hospital; she was about to die... And that is just beginning... But then the rumour started: One girl to another started to avoid me and people started to talk behind my back! Boy it was a nightmare; soon all my friends and parents bought it...
It has been hard few weeks for me to cope but now my reputation is starting to be clean...again.
It has also been hard 'cause many of her friends were my friends also. So now I have to avoid them just to be clear that never have to see that girl again. I never knew that there are as twisted girl as she...
But very happy for you

Entirely possible ... my ex girlfriend hates me, absolutely hates me, because I'm a social smoker. And that's just of cigarettes. If she knew that I occasionally partook in stronger stuff, God help me ...

Yeah of course could be, wasn't really realizing the difference regarding weed between Holland and rest of world...
Just very curious, your ex actually hates you for smoking? You must be glad it is your ex i do hope?

thats because society doesnt see drinking as a crime which it isnt! alcl is grand utill you start to abuse it and its your own fault if you get hookd. Plus i would be loking at crime figure! they only show the popel getting caugh! i know a lot more dmage has ben done people teens on drugs han alcohol!

thats because drink isnt playing with Fire the same way that herion is. there is no reason why any one should start doing drugs! there is no need for it! more people die of drugs each year than drink!
