Heading for the great escape.
Coming from the nation that boasts the worlds greatest drinkers, I can see both sides of the argument. Its not big and clever, but its also not the juice of the devil. I find it hard to except that in your country you can fight and die in your nations uniform but your not deemed responsible enough to handle alcohol.
Compared to Europe the UK has the worst rates of drink related problems, ill health crime etc, but it also has the most regulated policy towards drink, whichIMHO gives drinking an added cudos. My daughters are allowed a drink under my supervision, nothing major, but I hope to educate them to use alcohol sensibly.
As for the attitude of non drinkers, it may not be intentional but like vegitarians what can be off putting is this desire to wear it like a badge implying some sort of superiority.
One final point, my late grandfather only offered me two pieces of advice in his life, both as I joined up: Never volunteer for anything ( which I ignored from day 1 week 1)
and
never trust a man who dosent drink.
( cause theyll never buy a round)
:dazzle:

I'll second that! :lol:
No, i know a lot of people who think they can only have a good time if they are getting drunk.
Personally i can take it or leave it. When I'm having a drink, I can drink most of the people i know under the table, but then again I'm quite happy to give it a miss so that I can drive.

I agree too ! Once in a while i like a cognac or two either after a meal or when i go to a cool place to listen to some great jazz or just hang out ! As long as i don't drive , hey that's cool ! I like my diet coke most times as well too though like Maria said !

I think you may want to re-evaluate this statement depending on what you're doing with all those girls at LSU. I'm assuming it's not Bible study.
Regarding the alcohol, you'll have to excuse the Puritan influences in our country. They're still strong. You'll just have to accept the non-drinkers like you ask them to accept you.

It would take several large hellooo cheekies to get me mellow enough to listen to jazz, but still several fewer than I need to listen to country:hurl:

Lets take this situation into a 16 yearold *good girls* point of veiw-
I feel if you are old enough to drink, than by all means do it! I come from a very irish family and at just about every family gathering alchol is involved. My parents arent setting a bad example for me or anything, just drinking is sorta a socail to do. There not getting drunk off there butts, but its something all the adults do together. I dont see whats wrong with drinking in college. I agree that its a time to live it up..thats like your final step before you are out in the real wolrd. Now i have total and complete respect the people that dont drink. actually i say good for you guys! but I Dont beileve we should look down on other members that do drink.

Alchohal kills and while just one drink a night is actually beneficial to you,getting drunk does damage to your organs Specially your liver.

Cool! Hey someone acknowledged a post. I was starting to feel like a pariah around here. I was going to call it quits. When I get a moment, I will post a newer picture of me taken while visiting my grandparents last month.
