oh no! drinking is very bad and does nothing good for you!! I myself even when I come upon the age wont drink because of religion and such but I think that no one should! I mean why cant we all just drink a nice cup of tea or juice or soda! alocohol kills the most amazing people drives people to do things they normally wouldn't do!! I just beg you all not to drink at all...but I know that you will so just be careful : ]
I know this sounds really random and retarted coming from me but some of the most amazing people have died because of just a little too much alocohol
even my username carries a rememberance for someone great who died because of drinking
but ya I guess I'm off but I just wanted to say...
I both understand and appreciate where your coming from and what your trying to say. I too lost many dear too me because of people who drink irresponsibly. However, I have also lost many dear friends to AA because they are just as controlled by alcohol as they were when they drank it. If there's any advice that is truly worth having about drinking its this:
When you and your friends decide to go drinking pick a home for all of you to do it in, not some pub, and know that you are staying the night. Always make sure you know at least two of the people your drinking with... if not all. Get everything that you may have the urge to go out for later done before hand... IE: food, movies, ect. Take the car key off everyone's keyrings and put the keys somewhere that's hard to get to. (if someone does manage to get to the keys off the keyrings a drunk person is usually not able to tell which is their's) Lastly, tell the neighbors your having a little party. (not only is it courteous but it puts their situation in the back of your mind constantly making it a liitle easier for you to control yourself)
That's honestly the best way to drink if your going to do so... not to mention statistically its the least likely way for you to get out of control with the habit.
Sorry... off topic rant.
