<p>you're the man gatordan</p>
<p>i have to concur... you are the man</p>
<p>Gatordan, et.al....I was once you and my attitudes to drinking were quite similar. Now in my 40s, I regret ALL of the drinking that I did in my youth. As for the drug use........drugs lead to no good end...period.
This I know because of my own independently run research project being conducted where I work...at a level 1 trauma center. Guess what percentage of the the tox screens come back positive on almost EVERY trauma pt. that I care for????????? The bad consequences are a sad reality and MOST of the patients that we admit that are high on everything are in the 16-25 age group. I challenge all of the partyers on this site to find a non-chemical way to have fun next weekend...try a comedy central marathon... seriously.</p>
<p>Some of us here are able to have non-chemical fun. I would count myself among those. I never feel the need to abuse anything, mainly because my parents have been so tolerant. Also it loses its thrill after awhile. Most kids where I live get the partying over at like age 16, when its new and by now have given it up. Plus there are lots of ways to have fun without alcohol or drugs.</p>
<p>i agree, keep drug use limited. I see no problem in smoking once a year and drinking quarterly.</p>
<p>but be limited and be safe.</p>
<p>of course there are bad consequences, anyone who uses any drugs including alcohol is deluding themselves if they think it's completely safe. Anyone who uses SHOULD be aware of these facts, and know the risks involved. If you still take the risk, than it's your choice, and my point was that others should be tolerant of some of us who have made informed decisiosn and decide to take the risk, however small or large it may be.</p>
<p>am I the only one here who has problem with people who are complaining me to DO drugs and alcohols? I mean, what's wrong with not smoking pot or drinking alcohols? I don't care whether they smoke or not, so why should they?</p>
<p>^^^ You have to find some new people to hang around :) I'm not into that stuff so I don't hang around people who are into that stuff.</p>
