I disagree bro...im in college and I drink every weekend...if im going out to a party or something...more than likely im going to drink...I really dont see the problem in that...alcohol has never kept me from doing something I was suppose to...I handle my business during the week so that I can enjoy myself on the weekend...
And I only drink on the weekends...so twice a week...some people will say this is a problem...but what about the people that drink 4+ times a week?...

People that drink 4+ times a week, well we KNOW for sure they have an issue.
So you think drinking is only considered a problem when it interferes in your every day production?
I mean of course we will disagree, we are on two different planes. I don't drink at all and you drink every week. So that will be why we disagree. But I feel like if you NEED to drink each and every time you go out, you have a problem. Not problem as if you need to check into rehab but I just think you should question your reliance of alcohol to be able to enjoy yourself. So that is why I think it is a problem.

So! its legal and i personally am going to enjoy the few legal things that the government lets us do. Why is it an issue if someone wants to drink heavily on the weekends? How in any way is that an issue for you? And don't mistake my words for defending someone who has a "alcoholic problem" because those people truly need help. But being an alcoholic and drinking a lot on the weekends are two totally different things.
I truely imagine you being the person telling people dont smoke that 1 cigarette because its bad for you but on the other hand you yourself spend countless hours playing your NBA2k game.
Yea i just compared smoking 1 cigarette to playing hours of video games.
People have one life, it is theirs. . let them enjoy it the way they see fit as long as its not harming you in any way. Just like you get to do your activates that others might find pointless and stupid and a waste of time and even unhealthy to an extent.

I drink, I'm not a fan of the people that choose not to drink and rub it in people's faces as if they are on another level than other b/c they don't drink.
I didn't start until college though. Drinking in HS was a no-go for me being from a small town and in sports...word got around quick about people and their habits.

I drink heavily on the weekends. Like with everything good in life, moderation is key.

Not sure how you can compare playing 2K vs. routinely putting poison in your blood stream. Nice try, but I don't and never have spent much time playing 2K. I might speak about it but I have never been one that spent hours at a time playing video games.
So because something is legal means it should be done as much as you want without any remorse? Not sure if I can agree with that.
I have to be personally affected by something for me to have a problem with something? I missed that.
If I said people around me feel the need to routinely drink each and every time they go out, we KNOW what drinking does to the body, why shouldn't I be concerned about it? I am not understanding. So yes it does bother me when people in my life routinely drink. Why? Because it isn't good for the body. The same way I have an issue with those around me that don't work out, that eat fast food often, that smoke. If these are MY people, why shouldn't I be concerned about it?

You say that you don't HAVE to but you do it every time. Do you see how that can be viewed as a slight contradiction?
People for the most part just don't know when to stop. I see people jsut killing themselves. Drinking so much to the point of falling around, throwing up, feeling horrible the next day. I just don't understand why that is considered fun for some. I just don't understand man. You are putting your body through so much torture just for the sake of fitting in? And don't say that it isn't to fit in because the #1 reason (by far) people drink is for social reasons.
I just don't get it and never will. I understand wanting to have a good time but why punish your body to achieve that.
And before anyone goes there, I am not peaching that I am any better than you are. I just don't agree with the lifestyle.

So getting pissy drunk is ok as long as you do it only on the weekends? How is that moderation? I view moderation as the frequency of drinking alcohol and the amount of alcohol consumed per session. I can't see how you consider getting hammered each weekend as moderation.
As I mentioned, moderation is determined by the amount drank and how often you drink.

The truth! When I ask people I know, it makes it seem like they do it just not to feel left out when they out with friends...

Its moderation in the sense that he isnt drinking every day. Even though to drink heavily EVERY weekend is kind of crazy to me.

The majority of people I know drink to have fun NOT to fit in.

And who are they having fun with? Themselves or other people? Why people try to downplay drinking being a social form of acceptance is mind-boggling. It is what it is man. Your folks drink because others around them do it. I promise you that. Having fun with people is a social thing.
Now if they do it to have fun ALONE, = issues

Nope, I'm underage and I don't like the way it tastes. Maybe my tastes will change when I'm older, but I can't stand the bitterness of alcohol and I can't see how being drunk is a good thing.
