hahaha 'Tendo City - "We turn any random conversation in to profound theology for no good raison"'
You only 'lose control' after you've done too much of it, ie: fall on your ass drunk. The idea is to stay in a comfort zone and enjoy the tastes of the liquer, not down as much as possible. It doesn't have to be an extreme. The same can be said about smoking, if its in moderation you will never bring any permanent harm to your body. Unfortunately its addictive properties mean that NO ONE smokes in moderation. :D
But really though, chemical alteration shouldn't be considered a negative right out of the gate. Anything is harmful in huge amounts, hell you can over-dose on vitamins. You guys have unfortunately been exposed to idiots who have no control to begin with and go way off the deep end, but an intelligent and mature person can have alot of fun without being borderline psychotic from chemical over-doses and completely losing their mind. Getting a little drunk after a night of fun is alot different than drinking for the sole purpose of getting wasted.
I know people that only smoke a cigarette after sex like the classic movies, they'll go for weeks, months, etc never smoking and then light up right after sex, that's the best example of moderation in smoking I can think of. And it's just as harmful as eating a slice of cheesecake.
I guess i'm just trying to get you guys turned on to the idea that it's not inherently wrong or bad to drink; it's what you make of it, how you use it and knowing your limits. Having said that, I think every person on earth needs to get passed-out drunk atleast 5 times in their life and have someone take pictures or record it... alcohol acts as a kind truth serum and the shit that comes out of your mouth can be amazing. :D
Sometimes that's what people fear the most.
