[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 83527, member: 3647"] From the point of view of an addict, I cannot even begin to explain what it feels like. We see someone sipping on a glass of wine. We watch them and are like, "hello? ya gonna drink that? sometime this year?" We see someone put down a drink with half left in it and walk away. Our jaws hit the floor! THAT, my friends, is alcohol abuse! THAT is what is hard wired, once the addiction takes over. There is no "going out for a beer" It is "going out to get :censored:-up drunk". If there was not enough alcohol to get me drunk, I would not start to drink. If there was not enough pot to get me high, I would not start to smoke. WAAAY back in the day, if there was not enough coke to keep me wired, I would not start to snort or freebase or shoot. No point in it! Even as a sober person, I still don't get the point of drinking ONE beer. It makes absolutely no sense to me. The world, therefore, is better off that I drink *ZERO* beers. [/QUOTE]
