"Ideally alcohol and tobacco should be banned."
C'mon Bowser, after a life rampant with scotch drinking, you're going to pull a Sarah Palin on us and tell us we can't have what we want?
I have drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes and pot. So?
I just don't have the addictive personality, so I never overdid much of anything.
These things CAN become a crutch and I have seen people's lives ruined from them.
But a little now and then, used judiciously, can relieve stress and tension.
Maybe I'm more intelligent about some things. I KNOW what can harm me.
Tribes and different cultures have ALWAYS found ways to alter their brain chemistry.
It's in our history.
Banning alcohol and tobacco would never do.
Not for me. Maybe for you.
Da doo do.
