court- i realize that a lot of these posts seem down on you and insensitive. judging from your other posts in here i think you seem pretty responsible. i dont think youre the kind of person who would let it get out of control because you have so many things going for you. yes, alcohol is a drug. but its still fun to drink sometimes. have no room to judge you because, honestly, i just drank a pictcher of daquiri a week ago lol. dont let anyone else mak you feel bad about drinking every now and then. you dont need to justify it to me, or anyone else. people come down on me for smoking. well you know what? if i didnt smoke, there would be a lot less people in the world lol. we all deal with issues in our own way. its just important to see that drinking wont make them go away. but its good to have an escape sometimes. what about people who waste their lives away in fantasy video games... same mechanism, different addiction.
