I think that people who try to shove their morality down everyone else's throat and force people to live by their arbitrary values are fair game for some light name-calling.

I'm just wondering about what kind of world you live in. It looks like an "interesting" place.

I think if you have 2-4 drinks a day, you're an alcoholic. That seems a bit much, one a day or less is fine. You don't need to get drunk off your ass to be an alcoholic, the fact that you need it daily is enough. If you live in France or the Napa Valley and you were just raised to drink a glass of whine with your food everyday that's fine. But needing a buzz everyday is a bad habit.

He said most nights, not all nights. Evidently, she can live without it.

a world where even garbage has the decency not to go out in public yelling nigger, kyke, and faggot about things and people they dont like.

Here's a FUN FACT:

It is 2011, and although you might not have noticed, the word faggot has broadened in meaning. It no longer always means homosexual. Furthermore, when -fag is used as a suffix, it never carries the connotation of homosexual.

Here's another FUN FACT:

The people who get the most upset about "hate speech" are usually in the closet about their own prejudices, in much the same way as people who feel the need to act macho and question everyone else's sexuality are usually trying to cover up their own insecurities.

I wonder whether you're one of those people who crosses the road whenever he sees a black person.

Can we get back to talking about booze and drugs? It's just more fun that way.

What's the point of getting drunk, when ever you feel like a tortoise you should go to a taco bell and stuff your face with delicious taco bell goodness.

The same reason why people play video games, or smoke.... Because they can.. There doesnt really have to be a real point to do it, people do it because they feel good doing it, just as we feel good playing video games. Not that I am ok with people getting drunk and driving.

I say forget drinking :P
I'm not a big drinker.

I just smoke weed. I think it's the better way.

Not to continue bickering, but being an alcoholic doesn't necessarily entail having the necessity to drink every single night.  With the research I've just done today, it seems to be a very broad topic that doesn't have a specific definition that will declare if somebody is or isn't an alcoholic.  While my mom doesn't do a lot of the more "severe" things that some alcoholics would do, she defiantly qualifies for a couple of the signs of possible alcoholism.

It isn't just the fact that she has 2-4 drinks that irks me, if my dad goes out with his co-workers and has 2-4 drinks just to have fun, woopty doo.  It is the fact that she is doing this several nights per week in what I feel is to deal with stress, and that it is affecting family relationships within our house.

Regardless, call it whatever you wish, but what I consider to be drinking too often has affected our household.
