What's the point of drinking, the point of being DRUNK?!

Oh, the ignorance of a child.

More or less. This is pretty much the same biased lack of perspective most kids his age show. He'll learn.

Also, I take offense to the poll answer that indicates that somebody who is drunk would have trouble reading your OP. I guarantee you that I can measurably out-read and out-type you (and, further, with better grammar and spelling) even if I'm blowing a .15.

For reference, I'm pretty damn shit-faced right now, and this took me all of about a minute to type up. Like sure I'd stagger and stumble if I stood up, but alcohol isn't that terrible or intense if you're smart about it and don't binge.

Thanks for the guffaw. There is no way you could possibly beat me in typing and grammar (as you claim, when you are under the influence of alcohol). I am an expeditious typist. It's also pretty ageist of you to come to an iditotic conclusion that kids lack 'perspective'. Sure I might not understand how it feels to be drunk or to have alcohol in my system but I do obtain the knowledge that stops me from ever finding out. Anything in excessiveness is bad and I clearly understand that. Moderation is the way to go but little to no alcohol is the best decision. There has been studies that have shown that wine has a positive impact in moderation. Beer itself hasn't shown those type of qualities. Just because you favor drinking doesn't mean your perspective is factual at all either! 

See, already, the first line of your reply, we have your bias manifesting itself again: it doesn't matter if you're a good typist---I am too, my point being that drinking doesn't impair me. I'm not commenting on your typing abilities. I'm just pointing out that I type upwards of 80 wpm even when I'm severely intoxicated. It's not this dramatic, self-destroying substance you seem to believe it to be--not in and of itself.

Which only goes to reenforce my next point--you can't say you understand what drinking is like from "obtaining knowledge". Sometimes experience is the only real teacher, and this is very much the case with alcohol. 

As for me being"ageist" by claiming younger people have less perspective, this is simply, by definition, fact. You gain perspective as you age. Everybody does. Namely, by experiencing new things.

You can cite statistics and spew facts all you want, but it doesn't add up to a modicum of understanding. I respect your choice, and think it's a hell of a wiser choice than being a binge-drinking meat-headed idiot, but that doesn't make you correct.
