people generally think they have a higher tolerance for alcohol than they actually do. your drunk long before you think you are.

Drinking is an at-home thing for me. I am a designated driver for a lot of people. And, strange enough, a lot of them aren't even my friends. Mostly neighbors and friends of neighbors and all that. My cell phone number has been scattered way, way, way away from the original circle, and now I get calls at least twice a week for someone who needs a ride. They often give me money, but seeing as my mom pays for gas... well... I kinda make a living this way. Nothing big, but enough so I can get a movie ticket once a week or so...

I like my drinking! But generally I try not to get drunk (unless I'm at a party with some friends, then I sort of go nuts . . .) I had a bad experience my sophmore year of highschool with parties, so I'm much more careful now than I was then. Hard lesson to have learned. I like to think I'm a safe drinker, and I've never been so drunk that I've lost my awareness of the world around me.

I recently quite smoking, due mostly to my (now) boyfriend's constant...ahem...assistence. He's allergic to tobacco smoke.

I get an asthma attack whenever I even get close to a cigarrete so, needless to say, I don't touch them.

As it concerns drinking alcoholic beverages, I do drink casually, but very rarely do I get drunk. I just have a big problem with losing control of myself; it's nice every once in a while, but it can be very frustrating to me if I can't concentrate. The biggest problem I have with alcohol though is that so many people use it as a means of escape, and that is not healthy. For instance, a lot of my friends cannot have fun unless they're drunk, and that to me is a big problem that they need to get resolved. Of course, I have my own unhealthy addiction to all things Spongebob.


Tessitore, that's cool of you! It sounds like a cool job.

drinking is good laugh when its in moderation live life let your hair down and drinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk sorry in extreme hyper mood LA LA LA! ok really boring you now I shall dash

I don't smoke. I don't intend to, ever. It's disgusting. But somewhere down the line I probably will smoke for acting. Somewhere down the line I'll probably have every vice there is to have, eh.

I drink, though. When I'm cold, I mean. It's quite warm, and I like the taste of some drinks. Red wine, especially. But I've never drunken enough to get noticeably drunk. Swaying and things. That was once, I think, when I polished off my aunt's vodka martini and most of her margarita. And had to retain regality in stilettos. Alcohol tends to take the edge off my headaches since I generally have a lot of them (it comes wiff the insomnia). You'd think I'd take aspirin or something.

I've tasted alcohol, but I havn't drunk more than a sip at a time. When me and my siblings were little we used to pester our parents for a taste of their wine or beer. Every now and again they let us, but only really really tiny sips, so it was no more than a taste. Once dad let us have diluted wine, which I thought tasted absolutly horrible (probably because it was diluted so that it was practically all water) But we gradually lost interest in it because, I don't know, we just did (well, when you firbid something everyone does it. So it kind of worked letting us taste it because we lost interest.) I'm not really under alot of peer pressure all the time to drink and stuff, mainly because I'm a geek. I've never stolen any at a party or anything.
Cigarettes? I hold my breath when I walk past people who smoke. I think it's disgusting. I don't think I'll ever be persuaded to breath that filth in on purpose. I hate it too much.

I used to have a glass of alcohol almost every day, usually just something like white wine, mellow red wine or champagne, but when I woke up one morning, and hadn't anything to eat until lunch time, the first thing had was champagne. It was just half a glass, but straight away I felt light-headed and weird.

I love reading other people's opinions....and I love it even more when no one is mad at each other for expressing them...it's just so...not mean.

anyway, back on topic, I'm not sure if I've posted here or not, but I'm against smoking (anything) and drinking in large quantities--I'll still wait till I'm 21 (legal age) to drink needless to say.

I have no problem with those who drink/ smoke, as long as they keep it away from me....most of the people I know are not the poeple I know when they are drunk, if that made any sense whatsoever.
