Your views on drugs and alcohol
Drugs and alcohol?
Well let’s go alphabetically and touch on what I think about alcohol.
Moderation. That’s the name of the game. I drink alcohol occasionally, at a nice dinner, or if I’ve been invited to a tour of wineries. Because who doesn’t taste the wine on a wine tour?
However, I don’t drink just for the sake of drinking. You see, I actually lack the enzyme that helps break down alcohol – alcohol dehydrogenase – which results in me getting a flushed reaction when drinking alcohol. This can happen even after one glass of wine. So, I don’t tend to drink more than one glass because of this.
I see no need to drink so much that I can’t see straight [I have enough problems with my eyes without doing that]. Though I have been drunk several times. But, both times were unintentional, and from drinking something stronger than wine – vodka jelly shots come to mind.
When I was younger, 18-20, I did go clubbing and I did drink a bit – vodka crusiers mainly, with a few Smirnoff’s, and cowboy shots thrown in. But, I got over that quick – and my group of friends were sensible drinkers. Nowadays I drink as I believe, in moderation. There have been a couple of stressful times in the last few years that I bought myself some Cruisers and had two in one sitting…but, I had food with them…so that was alright.
So. Alcohol. Drink in moderation and you’ll be fine.
Oh. But…DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. It’s not worth it.
Okay, on a more sober note. Drugs. Now let’s assume that this is not referring to medication. Because my opinion on medication is: Use it if you are prescribed it by your doctor, and don’t be an idiot about it.
But, drugs, as in illicit drugs? Well, my views? They’re harmful. Period Don’t take them. Don’t be an idiot. Just don’t. I mean, I understand that they’re addictive, and once someone has started it’s difficult to break the cycle. Here’s an idea. Don’t take them in the first place and don’t let people pressure you into taking them. [I know there are situations where it’s something that can’t be controlled, ie. infants being born with addictions, so they’re kind of lost from the beginning…]
What about medicines that become addictive? Well, go and do what Alex O’Loughlin did, and book yourself into rehab as soon as it becomes a problem. Don’t give into it, do something about it.
And all this business about medicinal maurijuana? I’m sorry. But, I don’t think it should be used for medicinal purposes. Unless they can get it to a point where it is medically viable and proven to be so on a sample size that is statisically viable.
But, anyway…my views on drugs? Mostly negative. Don’t do drugs.
