I'm going to disagree with you here.

Yes there are some people who are functional drunks, as there are functional pot-smokers.

But I find nothing funny or "cool" about them.

I speak from experience as someone who would have had a MUCH better life had I never touched either.

I will do everything to teach my son not to do what I did.

Just stay away from booze and pot.

I've got the addiction gene in my family.

Don't tempt fate by getting into intoxicants, no matter how "cool" you think it is.

Some can handle it, some can't.

I'm not judging those who can.

I'm someone who can't.

And I've paid dearly because of it.

Those I was referring to do not exhibit outwards signs, and they conceal it well. The 'cool' comment was based on others looking at the size of their bank accounts or if they have a flashy car, or if they have some big position. People are easily fooled.
