what do you think about drugs, drinking, and tatuing?

Drugs are illegal in America and I am personally against them.
Drinking is not bad. Drunkeness is bad.
Tatooing again is not terrible, but you need to look to your conscience for these things, asking, "Is this really God pleasing?"

Tatooing? Whatever. It's all about your heart. If you put a massive shaft on it, maybe. But I know of Christian tatoo places, and many Christians I know are tatooed all over the place.
And drinking isn't bad, and people need to stop freaking out about people sipping some booze. Getting drunk is a different story. And drugs? Drugs can be anything. Opium is an illegal drug, though opium is a mainn ingredient in most pain killers we use.
Only very few drugs are illegal, and the ones that are can completely mess you up. And Marijuana is the only drug you can't overdose on. surprised surprised

That is so very true, and please don't think only about illegal drugs be legal drugs to, extiscy used to be used for marrage problems and then it was fine untill people abused it, so is legal drugs that doctors use bad too?

Drugs are, while unchristian to take or deal, perfectly acceptable for people over 18 who are mentally competent to make choices. However, I believe they should be government regulated to avoid bad mixes, and that black market dealers should face EXTREMELY harsh penalties, as should anyone giving drugs to minors or the mentally incompetent.

Alcohol: Jesus drank it, didn't he? Drinking it isn't a problem; getting s**t-faced drunk falls under debauchery. Key word: self-control.

Tattoos: I don't see a problem with them. Make sure you get good quality though; not some prison-style tattoo where the ink bleeds after a couple weeks and gets into your bloostream if there's a mistake.

I aggreee with everyone on the Alcohal. Jesus' first mirical was turning water into win. He drank it so why cant we. Just don't get stupid drunk. Drunkenness is a sin.

Tattoos are SWEET!! I like them. I'v even concerdid getting one. But in Leviticus 19:28 is says not to put tattoo marks on your body.
Leviticus 19:28 (Young's Literal Translation)

28`And a cutting for the soul ye do not put in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, ye do not put on you; I [am] Jehovah.

I'v also been told by people I discuss this with that if God wanted you to have a sweet mark(tattoo) on your body don't you think we would have given you one when you were born.

I have NOTHING against tattoo's. But there are many Christians that do.
Therefore if you have a tottoo and there is a Christian who doesn't approove of you because of it, just remember that he is in a different position than you.

1 Corinthians 10:27-33 (21st Century King James Version)

27If any of those who do not believe bid you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go, whatsoever is set before you eat, asking no question for conscience' sake.

28But if any man say unto you, "This is offered in sacrifice unto idols," then eat it not for his sake who showed it, and for conscience' sake; for, "The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof."

29I do not mean thine own conscience, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience?

30For if I by grace be a partaker, why is evil spoken of me for that for which I give thanks?

31Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

32Give no offense, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God,

33even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
