To continue on that, it's interesting how it's legal for people under 21 to drink if they join the army. Also putting alcohol as a drug is just funny, there's no reason to think of it as a drug.

OT: Don't listen to the people being condescending towards you, let them live their stereotypical US sheltered lives and don't be bothered by them.

Well, it is a drug. A legal drug, but a drug nonetheless. In fact, it's actually pretty dangerous compared to other drugs.

It's one of the most addictive and deadly drugs in the world.  If we wanted drug laws to make sense, it would be more illegal than heroin.

But whatever.

I don't think any drug law has ever effectively changed a country's drug use.  I forget which is which, but between Italy and Spain, one of them has one of the harshest laws against cocaine, and the other one doesn't give a fuck about cocaine, yet they have the same rate of cocaine use.

Meanwhile, I'm having some sake.  It was on sale, at $7 for the big bottle.  Booyah!

 

 

I wouldn't expect drug laws to have much effect considering we've been doing them since we were monkey people in caves. They're all mixed up. The safest things you can do are illegal while we can legally kill ourselves with booze and cigarettes. That's a rant best left for another thread though.

And I hope you're not drinking the cheap sake that comes in the gallon jugs. That stuff tastes like contact lens solution.
