A Not Uncommon Pastime

I do not believe that drinking is right. I just think that for some people it is a nesscessity. Some people just can't get buy without having a drink now and then. Not to the point where they turn into alcholics, but just to ease the weight on their shoulders. I can see how it seems so appealing. They just need something to do to pass the time when they have nothing to do in their lives.
What I don't agree with is getting so drunk that you can't control your actions. People go and drink too much then they make fools of themselves. Even worse, some people decide to drive when they are drunk. That is when innocent people get injured or killed because of other people's stupidity. I even know some teenagers who drink too much. I also know how most of them are going to end up. I don't think that everyone who drinks is bad, but some people just take it too far.
It's kind of like smoking. If you want to do it, fine, but have consideration for the people around you. They may nor like any of your antics while your drunk. Just because you think your cool dosen't mean everyone else does. If you want to be drunk, hang out with other people who are drunk. My point is that if you do want to drink, try to keep it to a minimum for the sake of everyone around you.

  1. I agree.
    I used to think people who drink and do drugs were bad, but then I realized that some of the most amazing people that I have ever met do that kind of stuff. So we mustn't judge. Some people make a few bad decisions in their life, but it definitely doesn't mean that they're terrible people.
    Everything in moderation. Although I would not recommend drinking or doing drugs as a way to get happy, I understand that this is a rough time for a lot of people, and I hope that they make the best decisions possible for themselves and that they learn from any mistakes that they may make. And like you said, please keep yourselves and everyone around you safe. You don't want to do anything that you can't undo, such as killing yourself or someone else in a drunk driving accident or by dying by overdosing.
