Yep! Me too. 5.4% of anybody who even takes drinks sparingly. I mean, those that drink on a regular basis, or excessively. I don't have Adobe Reader on my laptop, so I can't open that file. Yes it does, yes it does, and those that have poor self control have already taken a drink of alcohol of some sort. Which is, funnily enough, illegal. That's what you think: but look now. You're trying to tear me down because you are so firmly based on your belief that drinking is *FUN!* ... if it didn't have an effect on you (or much at all), then it wouldn't be important for you to drink: and you wouldn't be defending it. Suppose you take a drink tomorrow, then a few more, lose your judgement as alcohol is sure to do after a few drinks, get in a car, and kill someone? Then will it have an effect on you? It happens more often than you think. That is a brainwashed-induced LIE. It DEFINES your morals. Whether you drink or not can define who you are. It is a major factor in your character. Yes, it is. You take Tylenol for medicinal purposes. You drink for ... I dunno, a waste of money? A chance to kill someone? Hurt someone? Break up with someone? Damage someTHING? If you were drunk, you wouldn't be able to remember. And you would lose your self-control. Drinking invites a loss of self-control, and it will only spring at the opportunity to steal it from you. Now then, Boby: Right, but you walk first... then you run... once drinking a little bit, "why not drink more? It hasn't hurt me so far..." Okay, so you can completely reject the quote I learned from, actually, the History channel a few weeks ago. But, who knows... maybe I'm right for once. Oh, that's right. I don't know anything. What a pity. I guess I don't count. I am not a person. I forgot that. Take a book and ask someone how to SPELL "acoholist". The problem is, ... the more beers you have, the more you lose your judgement and sense of control. Disagree with me all you want, but that's your own problem some day. Don't come yelling to me like a baby if you get thrown in jail for drunk driving or murder in the 2nd degree or something. I know a few guys that have killed people in DUI incidents. I have friends that have lost family and THEIR best friends because of drunk driving, even the most innocent couple on their first date. And I know their stories. That's why I'm allowed to talk about it like I am. Heck, I have a GREAT time sleeping... I'd rather do that than go to school some days If I have them, it'd be: Defended my morals, values, and integrity. What do you want to tell YOUR children? Got drunk at parties and thrown in jail for DUI and missed school because of hangovers? Wheee.... they'd admire that.... a LOT.
Don't you think sometimes too far?? I don't say now you can't die when you drive drunk, or you can't go to jail if you do sh*t when you're drunk, but believe me, it can happen to you too even if you're not drunk or even if you never ever drunk alcohol. Some people get into trouble when their heads are full of alcohol, and some when with a clear mind. Ok, we feel now you are right, and we won't drink anymore alcohol. I just realized I can be thrown in jail if I drink a beer, or my family can die, or whatever else can happen. Amen! To all the rest ... cheers
DAMN!!! I thought this thread would be fun!!! I was thinking i will read some stories about people getting drunk in parties and doing some weird things. Anyhow........ softgroups!!! 4-6 liters of alcohol? Are you in your senses?
Please don't try to alter stats after I just showed you that your idea that everyone becomes an alcoholic who drinks is wrong. Once again, a blanket statement without proof. What makes you believe these pretty humorous things? I beg of you, make only statements that you can back up. When you don't know anything about a topic, don't try to act like you do. Once again, you show your closed-mindedness. I was in Europe at the time and it was perfectly legal for me to drink. Also, you CAN drink legally in the US before 21, if you are at home with your parents. Once again, research and thought will save you embarassment. I am not trying to tear you down, but build you up. You have incorrect beliefs, which are leading you to miss out on much that life has to offer and I am trying to logically show you the truth. As to losing my judgement which "alcohol is sure to do"; that's just patently ridiculous. I do not take a drink, morph into a different person and start doing things that are bad. I do not drink and drive, EVER. Most people I know who drink do the same thing. Once again, please backup this statement. Is there an evil scientist somewhere who doctors drinks so that they brainwash me? Having a Bud changes my morals instantly? You are a funny dude. I drink to have fun and socialize with people. I have no idea who told you that drinking makes you kill someone or hurt someone or break up with someone, but it sounds like that same person also kept you in a small cage your entire life. I feel bad for you. When I drink, I remember eveerything. I do not lose any self-control. It's not like alcohol is a monster that tries to take over your brain. As I said before, It is much like tylenol or caffeine (two other drugs). Please go to school. It would do you a world of good ;]
If I back up that statement you quoted and find a truckload of alcohol stories online and cite them, do I get to laugh? Close-mindedness? How the heck was I supposed to know you were in EUROPE? So I guess you want me to research your vacations. Lie. Lie. Lie. Lie... It can happen, don't say it can't, and won't happen to you. Shameless lies... And I can do that, because I'm not drinking every week. I've gotten bored with arguing with you, so now I'm just straight to the point: if what you say isn't true, it's a lie. Period.
Why don't you start a nice story? Ok, here is one that happend 3 years ago... Some friends and I got a little bit drunk in a club during our summer holidays at the black sea. It was about 6 or 7 am when we left the club and were on out way back home with some chicks. We were laughing and havin fun. We left our shoes in the middle of the street, about 30m one away each other, took position like police officers and all cars had to drive in slalom around the shoes Almost all drivers were laughing when they saw us, and they all drived nicely around the shoes. Then, the "real" police came and we had to run away...
CompuXP, I can't have an intellectual debate on this with you anymore because you have not once countered any of my arguments with anything but screaming LIES!!! Please reason out a well-defended position and then get back to me. Currently, you have said you have no personal knowledge (never drank yourself or been to a party/place people drink) and you have not cited anyone else's evidence. You just make bogus claims. I became curious as to why you would make such outrageous statements with absolutely no idea what you were talking about and then it hit me: religion. You're a mormon http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=114860 and one of the beliefs of mormons is that they should never drink. The reason you have no evidence is because there really isn't any outside of your childrens book aka the book of mormon (which I have read and is outlandish). This is why I am so opposed to religion. Religious people come out with terrible ideas and then believe them and try to enforce them on others just because they have "faith" in them. Maybe when you pull your nose out of religious texts and start thinking scientifically and logically, you will be able to see things more clearly.
Somehow, I don't think "Lie..." implies "SCREAMING!!!" - I have likewise become bored with arguing with you because the points you bring up are either... untrue or... ridiculous. I know what I said... you don't need to recap it all. The Book of Mormon is not a children's book... it was written by prophets a couple thousand years ago. It is as much of a historical document as the Bible: takes place during the same time, approx. as the New Testament, but in the Americas. Yet, oddly enough, people don't see it as a historical document. Why? Evidence of what? Hmmm??? By the way, I still await your "intelligent" argument to my latest reply in the thread you linked to: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=114860 Uh, more misinformation. Man, joel, you are SERIOUSLY a misinformed person, especially about our religion. Have you read the following events in the book Alma? ... chapter 44 http://scriptures.lds.org/en/alma/44/ It's the confrontation of Moroni and Zarahemnah, one of my favorite historical events in the Book of Mormon. Moroni, defending his people's cities against the Lamanites, which Zarahmenah leads, and Moroni defeats and surrounds the remainder of his armies. He says, Which is, actually, the same reason you don't like me: because I'm Mormon, and I believe in the same thing Moroni did. Next verse, verse 3, Moroni is still talking: You're TRYING to get me to not believe, you don't want me to know that, but... neither did Zarahemnah to Moroni. I also doubt that you have read the Book of Mormon cover to cover. I'll take your word for it, but anybody that has read it cover to cover and thought it was, as you say "outlandish", the entire time while reading it, one would quickly get bored and cease reading it. If you read the whole thing, you must have been curious. Even I have read it only a couple times in my life... it's pretty long. Science cannot answer everything. "Why are we here?" ... science doesn't know. I do. And so do 14 million other people around the world. Religion has answered all my questions. Science does not know what is truly important: religion does. In the end, black holes don't matter. In the beginning THROUGH to the eternities, why we're here and where we came from and where we're going, DOES.
Another thread full of junk... Someone asked about drinking and parties, now the discussion is about religion and the Book of Mormon, of Alma, and much more etc
Hehe, don't blame me Joel/ServerUnion started it: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=114460&page=2

CompuXP, the other people here are right, we hijacked their thread. So, I'm going to move our discussion here over to the thread in the other forum. Everyone else- Rock On! I'm waiting for the results... drink some MARGARITAS!!!
