You just don't appreciate the Conservative principle of chemically altering your mental state for personal enjoyment.

Conservatives don't drink alcohol?

All the time.

Apples and oranges compared to LSD, heroin, coke etc.

We straights know exactly the implication, what "altered mental states" points to in common usage, illicit drug use. Druggies use that term, live for that concept.

You really dont talk about "altered mental states" when having a Budweiser.

But you get one nonetheless. Is that not a conservative thing to do?

Good luck with that Alcohol / Heroin equivalence argument

I've made no such argument, but merely pointed out that alcohol, regardless of the words one uses, chemically alters one's mental state for personal enjoyment. You implied that such alteration was not a conservative thing to do - so do you stand by the logical implication of your claim, namely that drinking enough alcohol to feel an effect ("relaxing" or "unwinding") is not a conservative thing to do?

Dude, you are making the same argument over and over.

Really lay off the whatever your wackado drug of choice is.
