[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't drink-- family history of alcoholism and enough ugly incidents in college to make me realize I'm not immune to those genes-- but if you read through this entire thread, as I must confess I have, it is rather evident that the people who imbibe are more fun. Non-drinkers, may I suggest you work on witty rejoinders? Insults, sarcasm, and hand-wringing don't count. Please! Convince us that it is possible to have fun, and be fun, sober![/quote]

The fact that people cannot have fun without alcohol is one of the first signs of alcoholism.

We're here debating using logic and facts. This is not supposed to be a joke. The folks trying to say there's nothig wrong with breaking the law and putting your children (and others) in danger need a reality check. And when it happens it will be too late.

[b]I'm not against alcohol but it does have a time and place.[/b] On the street, at night, in the dark while you're watching over children is definitely not he est plac for it. [/quote]

Okay, I'll bite.  What do you define as being the appropriate time and place to have a drink?  Not at home, clearly, because presumably your children are there (even if asleep).  Not at a restaurant unless walking distance and then only if your children are away that night.  So...when, pray tell, is it okay?  I'm guessing - in your book - never.  And that is why many of us find your reasoning and rationales totally ridiculous.[/quote]
