[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're mixing up PPs. I never said drinking is evil. And the "drunks" is a joke that started several pages ago.

Keep up or I'll start thinking you're drinking already before dinner.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me say that once again...

I don't need any excuses. It's my right to have an opinion as is yours. I don't care about what the drunks think of me but seems like the drunks do care about what I think and they've been calling me names and making up excuses for their poor choices for well over 10 pages.

A cup of coffe or a bar of chocolate does not impair one's judgment. Alcohol, Benadryl or whatever drug you want to talk about does impair the judgment and they should be used responsibly. I just think that drinking as you walk down the street in the dark with a bunch of kids is dangerous (and illegal in several places) so it's a poor choice in my opinion.

My age to be "cool" and do stupid things to try to fit in is long gone. My good friends accept me for who I am and I accept them for who they are. We're happy and it works for us.

Say whatever you want. In the end we'll all have to live with the consequences of our acts. And I enjoy being sober.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you guys had taken the time to read thoroughly you'd learn that a lot of people were arrested just because the cop testified saying the person was walking "funny" even though their blow test was below the legal limit.

I've been reading several forums and a lot of people got convicted based on eye witnesses.

I don't care about all the excuses you all make and the names you call. I can sure have fun without drugs and I'll just keep this way.

Now, good luck to you guys explaining yourselves in court trying to prove you were sober when the accident happened.  Remember the old "it will never happen to me" one day will hit close to home and then it will be too late. [/quote]

Just because people have been convicted because a cop said the walked funny doesn't make it right or legal. It is no excuse for passing judgement on anyone who consumes a drop of alcohol.

There are plenty of "drugs" I bet you consume. Coffee? Chocolate? Soda? Guess what - caffeine is a drug.
Do you take aspirin or tylenol or ibuprofen for a headache? You druggie you.  Better not take that aspirin while taking care of your child. You know, accidents do happen, and it would be the fault of you taking aspirin.

I can and do have fun without consuming alcohol. I have alcohol maybe once every other month, never more than 2 drinks, usually only 1. But I'm not going to pass judgement on those that do drink more, as long as they do so responsibly.

People are calling you names because you're utterly unreasonable and calling people who choose to have one glass of wine drunks.  You get that, right?  You've come up with dooms-day scenarios to support your claims that drinking is evil.  It's ridiculous.  I went out trick or treating with my kid without drinking, but I think it sounds fun for a bunch of parents to stay together throughout the night and have a drink.  What is your problem exactly?  Why do you feel the need to spew your judgments all over this board?  You have a seriously unhealthy relationship with alcohol if this is your response.  It's fine.  We can't all keep it in check.  Some are all or nothing people, and you're one of those nothing people.  That's fine.  But understand that calling anyone who drinks a beer or a glass of wine a drunk isn't going to sit well with anyone.
Now, go have your cup of tea and just be quiet.  [/quote][/quote]

Who wants to read all 18 pages of you blithering about drunks and trick or treating?[/quote]
