Thanks, philman. That's a far cry from the bridge we were being sold here.
Funny how the nanny-staters will lump alcohol and other drugs together when they think it serves their purposes, then turn around and deny that alcohol is a drug.
FWIW I don't recommend taking/using any drugs as intoxicants. Never have not even when I was 16. Discussing what I know to be true about them is not an endorsement regardless of what small minds say.
