Our country was founded by men who drank alcohol. And smoked too. Our wars were won by men and women who also drank alcohol. All the great leaders in the Holy Bible, even our Savior Jesus Christ drank alcohol.
If someone is ruining their lives, it is not the alcohol. It is the person who is ruining their life. Don’t blame the alcohol. Just like don’t blame the gun. It is the person pulling aiming and pulling the trigger. The person making the decisions on how something is being used is where the responsibility and BLAME lies.
Alcohol does not ruin lives. People ruin lives.
Pot doesn't ruin lives. Individuals ruin their own lives.
