I do not choose that path, and you have no right to condemn me because of that.
And what I want to do is censure you for not being as strong as I am.

Pathetic. You're a lost cause and I'm done here.

Verbatim in this thread:

"I'm an unhappy and depressed piece of fuck, and if you're not miserable like me, you're wrong"

Never has there been so much truth to the saying "misery loves company", in regards to verbatim. It shows a severe lack of emotional and intellectual maturity.

If you're happy, you're probably doing something wrong.

This is the point where this discussion probably should have ended.

And if you drink just for the flavor, then you're just... stupid.

What if you drink it moderately for health reasons?

If it was the only option, then sure, that would make sense.

But it's not.

Most drinkers tend to agree with me, believe it or not.

I do, for the most part.

I drink, smoke weed and take ecstasy (like, way too much over the past few days) as a form of escapism.

But, I think you approach the issue in a way which isn't conducive to discussion--given that we're talking about something which is usually either seen from the perspective of "having fun" or a serious addiction, the sufferer of which you're calling a moron.

He legitimately believes they're one in the same

You leave objective morality alone.

If it hasn't already been made clear why I get so angry about this subject, it's because I've been surrounded by drunken idiots my entire life--from my peers, my close relatives, and my own mother.

When part of the majesty of life involves witnessing people you care about turn themselves into unapproachable, maudlin, and incoherent messes, because their life sucks too much without having that temporary transformation, it kinda grates at your fucking soul a little bit, as a person who considers himself "above" such stupid shit.

So maybe I let my emotions get in the way of this subject too much. It's something I need to work on, and honestly haven't been putting too much effort in changing--because, frankly, getting pissed off at drunk idiots is just too much fun. But I'm glad that we don't necessarily disagree at the heart of it all.

wait, did we actually make progress in this thread?

I can't speak for alcoholism, but years ago I used to be (more than) a bit adamantly against smoking (see: Verb in this thread), since my dad smoked at least a pack a day and looks about 10 years older than he really is. Nothing ever worked in the long term, and he's still making excuses about it after all these years. I've resigned myself to some sort of reluctant acceptance of smoking in general, without entirely giving up on it.

Alcohol was never much of a problem here (outside of the awkwardness of a beer can in daylight with guests over) since he dropped that pretty quickly, and never got hammered in the first place.
