Okay, seriously...haven’t we all lived in “that” neighborhood where you all knew who the family was that smoked pot...I mean, lawn not mowed, kids clothes were all basically hand me downs and worn repeatedly before Grandma got pissed off enough to wash them because mom and dad were lacking any real motivation to do laundry or mentor, guide, or even God forbid discipline the children, usually had the utilities out four or five times a year to shut off the service for lack of payment.
I mean really, we want a whole nation of this...drinking beer and whiskey never made me or anyone in my family slow, lazy, and incapable of fulfilling basic daily responsibilities — Weed, weed on the other hand has never made anyone a winner.
Are you kidding me? That is your argument "alcohol never ruined any lives"? LOL
You're lucky - alcohol destroyed at least one member of my family. For more examples, drop by any Al-anon meeting.
