[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nimrod: [QB] DT, I don't know what experiences you've had with alcohol in the past, but there are many ways it can be used in a positive way. Take a dinner party. You sit there, there are twenty people that just came from work , they feel stressed, not social. then they get an apetizer, or in my country sometimes a snaps, and suddenly everyone knows everyone. We've been down this road before, guys. I don't drink very often, even though I'm old enough to purchase the strongest stuff there is, and I for one don't feel comfortable with going to a bar everyday after work. And many people do that. I also have parents that HAVE had problems with alcohol because they felt miserable. But I still feel the good outweighs the bad, if you have control of it. And my country have had very big problems with alcohol in our history, believe you me. In the 1920's a farmhand was entitled to one snaps in the morning to get up, one before lunch, one during, one on the afternoon, one to dinner, and one before bed. About two litres every day. I share your hopes DT, there are many accidents and tragedies that would dissapear if alcohol was cancelled, but it is a part of our history. Every culture that existed have found ways to produce it. The best solution, as always, is to know when to stop. It all comes down to responsibility, discipline and common sense. The biggest problem as I see it is stopping kids from drinking. When I was in seventh grade there were kids having parties and drinking and smoking themselves silly. That's one of the roots of the problem. . [/QB][/QUOTE]
