Day Nineteen: Your views on drugs and alcohol

My boundaries are blurred on both of these perspectives, from different points of view. Do read on...

Alcohol
Yep, go for it. Drink and be merry. Well, in moderation of course. Alcohol, admittedly, makes so much happen in your life and I really do feel sorry for those who refuse to touch alcohol before they've experienced the amazing and not to mention fun times that evolve from alcohol consumption. Sure, there is definitely a point where drinking crosses a line; I've seen people drink their livers our around me and I think, yeah, sure, you're having a good time, but on the other hand I think you're on self-destruct a little bit aren't you? Sure, drink to have fun, but don't always drink to have fun. That's just silly. Sure, there is most definitely times when I have regretted drinking and what has come from it, and I have definitely learned from my mistakes. I'm a little older and little wiser now. I hear stories from people's not-so-distant past and I tend to think; really? They really did that? Wow, what a sket. But she was drunk, so that makes it ok, right? Hmm. There are a lot of people who I hear are/ have constantly drinking/ drunk so much of their money, time and life away. And that's fine. It's really up to you how you spend your life, but...ahhh, I don't know. It's really not my place to determine, shape and guide people's lives; it's down to them. But the question is constantly begging to be asked; do you need to be drinking that much? Just sayin'......

Drugs
No. Don't. Just don't. Please. Sure, cannabis has a less deteriorating effect on your body than alcohol, and it is more 'natural', but seriously? You're going to do drugs? Honestly, when I hear stories about people that have had epic trips or hench munchies I just think; wow, that's a little bit pathetic. Sure there's the whole 'mellow out, man' factor about it. Then there's the 'fuck the man!' aspect of it. But, really? Do you really need to smoke/ inject/ take it to help your life advance in some way? Hmm....ok. Sure, I believe you. Some people do it every day of their lives. Some people rely on it far too much to exist happily without it. It affects the whole way that your body and mind works and, lets be honest, drugs are illegal for reason, yeah? Go figure.

Sure, if you've read this and thought; 'Wow, what an opinionated cunt' then good, my rant has worked. Think about that next time you put a needle in your arm or a pill in your mouth.
