Day 3: Your Views on Drugs and Alcohol
This is likely to be a short entry as I don't have many views on the subject of drugs and alcohol. I'm not really a fan of either. I had a very short, very mild, "party" period where Lynzie and I went to a local bar and got drunk about once a month, if that, and I never really drank in college. In fact, I didn't even have a drink until I was legal...man I'm boring! As for drugs, I've tried weed, bad weed at that, once and all it did was make me want to lay my head on the bathroom sink faucet...I didn't get the awesome high with the calorie bursting muchies that Kevin Smith raves about. I probably just needed better weed.
Regardless, I'm dating an Irish guy who has whiskey running through his veins and he drinks enough for the both of us. So it has become a large part of our lives.
As for others, I don't understand the appeal for young people unless it's a form of rebellion. It's empty calories and a recipe for disaster. People these days aren't smart enough to drink responsibly and make good decisions. In fact, it feels like young people these days are all in competition for who can be the dumbest and make the worst decisions. I know I sound like a crotchety old woman, and maybe I am, but I know that I would never put myself, my loved ones, or others at risk like people do today.
Just watching documentaries like American Meth and shows like Intervention has shown me the flip side of what drugs and alcohol can do when abused.
To me, I'd rather keep my teeth and internal organs and spend my money on a new outfit or even more exciting, a new book! :-)
