So I'm considered a prude because I don't want respiratory problems, prefer fresh-smelling breath and clothes, and to have my wits about me? F*ck that sh*t.
I honestly can't believe that anyone who overindulges in alcohol would think they're better than those who don't. I personally feel sorry for THEM.

I prefer remaining a relaxed state of a clear, sound mind... No interest in purposely making my mind anything but normal. Pisses me off enough just being dizzy from a cold virus, I don't want anything else making my head weird. (edit: I even despise 'laughing gas' at the dentist because of it and won't use it.)
Between this and the other thread though, I'm kind of surprised reading other comments about losses of grandparents that were likewise contributed to smoking and drinking.  Though I guess if they were the same or close enough generations, I guess it was the times.
Definitely some alcohol addiction on my father's side and he himself had to watch it. (Fortunately his "on call" job pretty much forced him to have to behave.) Just not really anything I have any interest in repeating.
Smoking just seems gross, and alcohol... though I don't criticize or condemn moderate drinking, it's just a dumb beverage to me and I don't get the lame fascination and obsession some have with it. Like the daughter of my mom's friend who was at one time so proud of herself for how much alcohol she thought she could handle. Um... okay... "go you," I guess? If that's what you're proud of in life, it's time to reevaluate things.
What little I will drink now and then, I drink it because I like it flavor-wise, not for what it could do to me if I drank more of it. |
You might have just won this thread.

Somehow, I feel zero need for that whatsoever, and I'm willing to bet that I'm not the only one.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.
