Alcohol, although legal and widely consumed, lowers your inhibitions and makes you a very poor decision maker.
You can make negative life altering choices while under the influence of alcohol.
Decisions that can destroy a lifetime of hard work in one evening. Decisions that can even kill you or others.
Fortunately this did not happen to me. Although I was just damn lucky.
I saw it happen in front of my eyes more than once.
However, with Marijuana which I have been around and smoking since I was 15.... I have never seen 1 life altering decision made.
I am 49 years old. Went to a State University, but was also a "metal head" with music.
I took part in massive quantities of both.
ALCOHOL IS DANGEROUS! Please be careful when drinking. Especially when hit that critical threshold of "being really drunk" Bad things happen.
