Alcohol... America's drug of choice! :beer:

Haven't heard that but I suppose any drug abused to a certain point could potentially cause deadly withdrawals in one way or another.

I probably don't drink as much as those people. Not sure what the fuss is about, I said I can't help but put some crown in my coke whenever I drink it cause I liked the flavor and whatnot, that's why I'm not sure of it as an addiction.

Evafan: You should talk to your doctor about quitting alcohol - it will be the best thing for you, your liver, your wallet and your brain in the long run. Alcohol is a terrible shitty drug that does nothing good for you and will only consume more of your life if you continue to abuse it like this.

Poor Evafan :(

He hasn't been taught about the effects of alcohol at all because the American government is not about having a healthy, well functioning populous of rational humans. They wouldn't go off and fight in bullshit wars to spread "freedom" if they weren't drunk off their asses and happy enough chasing their next six pack. The government spends thousands of dollars to indoctrinate you to their way of life at public school and it is my and others opinion that schooling is useless for everything but learning how to get laid and buy drugs. What exactly makes you think they want you to know the truth about recreational substances that could help you expand your perception of yourself and life? Why would you believe their lies if you took psilocybin mushrooms and laughed your ass off at the 6'oclock news trying to scare you into buying a new alarm system with yet another tragic kidnapping/burglary/arson story!

The two drugs that are legal and sold everywhere will kill your ass DEAD if you abuse them. They are both poisonous to humans in large doses. This sets off warning bells for me. How about you? People actually think they should trust the government and that it cares about them when this shit is legal? Really? Damn, if only I could be that wilfully ignorant and not feel immense psychic distress. I mean, I know I'm ignorant of a lot of things - but I can't be ignorant of this.

We need to start educating people about drugs so they don't take a laissez-faire attitude towards them and end up an addict who isn't even self aware enough to admit it to himself like Evafan here. The damage alcohol does to us as a species every year is tantamount to government assisted slaughter. This is slaughter they collect millions in taxes off and advertise after the kickoff at football games. What loving, compassionate, empathetic person could do this to his fellow man? He must be ruled by fear, and dimly unaware of love's light and truth. What loving, compassionate, empathetic citizenship puts up with the government feeding us this bullshit? Most of us.

Then again, alcohol and nicotine kill more people per year than suicides, murders and car crashes ever will. So, IMO it's hard to imagine the government giving up a profit stream as consistent and addictive as tobacco and booze just because it's killing off a few of their workers. They're a company just like any other.

If your drinking is getting to a point where you feel out of control, you have been drinking on a daily basis for 3+ months, or you are going out of your way to procure booze so you don't run out you are on your way to developing a dependence.

Hmmm. . .this might be why my husband told me not to quit drinking altogether and just cut down/ween myself off. >.> But yeah, this is part of my New Years resolution as well. Especially since I will probably have to quit altogether for a while by the end of the year. . . :uhoh: (Will be trying to have kids >.<) Anyway, Eva, we can do this!!!! We just need a FIGHTING SPIRIT!!!! *^_^* :awesome:

my new years resolution (other than to loose weight) was to not mix my alcohol, i.e. - if I start with beer, stick with beer. if I have liquor, don't start a beer bong... no matter how free they are :uhoh:

|:> , I don't intend to quit though but kudos to you if you do. I simply enjoy it with coke. I just don't abuse it and limit myself unlike people who go through 6 packs daily. All this serious business is kinda funny though cause I go a whole day/work weeks without drinking coke some times and other days I'll drink like 2-3 cans (This is only on days off work). I just intend to drink less (and put less crown in per glass) for the reason NME said, my liver.
