Damned puritans.
I say this as I’m drinking a pina colada.

Anything you say to a healthcare "professional" will go on the record and may come back to bite you. I don't volunteer anything. If there is something going on with my body I don't understand or I can't handle then and only then will I ask for help/advice.
Invade every adult’s privacy, but it’s not a problem if they’re under 18...their formative years. Great.
True that! And mine appears to be coming true tomorrow or Thursday ; )
Some of the biggest booze bags I have ever met have been medical doctors.
I have met these people by the score at the dinner parties, cocktail parties etc. hosted by two friends. The wife is an MD and can put it away as well as the men.
Can’t I just declare myself to be here illegally and get all my goodies? After all, it would be racist to screen illegal immigrants for substance abuse.
“Plus, I dont drink at all. “
It is everyone’s personal choice.
But I have read that some/moderate alcohol consumption is good for you, it prevents blood clotting, i.e. strokes and heart attacks — in moderation only of course. Too much is harmful, but a little is good.
But if someone can’t keep it in moderation, than not drinking at all is probably better.
I know people who don’t have any problems either way, but choose not to drink, which is fine, of course.
But it should be a personal choice, not the government forcing you.
LaCarre is boring, but that is the way it is, punctuated with Hoohaw at the Horse and Cow.
Let us never speak of it again...
Don’t buy alcohol with a credit card.
But it is OK to smoke pot...
In BC the “legal” limit for criminal charge is still 0.08, but blowing a 0.05 will get you a 72 hour suspension and your car towed. Then there is around $700 in fines etc.
If you blow that same 0.05 again within 5 years, it’s an automatic 6 month suspension, one month car impounded, and the $800. MADD course. Plus another several hundred to $2000 in fines, fees, etc.
Oh, they put a breathalyzer in your car for the next 6 months after buying your license back, and you get to pay a couple hundred dollars to install and rent a $100/month machine that demands you blow every time you start the car, and every 10-25 minutes the car is running.
You get to come in at their convenience to get said machine recalibrated every so often at your expense, too.
This is for an “administrative” offense, BTW.

IMO the smartest people are the ones who can learn from the mistakes of *others*.
Oh but we must, I came to him later in life & love him. Have so many books of his left to read.
Okay, we will never speak of this, unless we end up at The Horse & Hound.............(bonus points for what movie featured “Horse and Hound” magazine)
ER, EMT, Police will drive you
to drink, Oh you last a few years.
I was hospital administration...I lasted more than a few years.
