And they are in school, as soon as they get out into the workforce (or the benifit, if they are that way inclined), they will be getting hammered day in day out. Self control is a virtue; some people are damned, others damn themselves. Thats a bit of an odd comment. Im a drinker, I drank when I was at school, I drink now. I'm still a fully functioning productive person. Personally I drink rum, goes with the life style |

Personally I drink rum, goes with the life style There is a difference between drinking and getting hammered day in and day out. While I do at this point fall into the later group (I've already had a few drinks today and it's barely 5pm). I would say I am a productive member of society. But back when I worked (I study now, no classes tomorrow) I only drank friday and saturday nights. And it worked well I think. I believe that to be a cynical alcoholic you need to have two drinks a night. A lot of people fall into that category. Funnily enough, I probably would get a decent benefit if I did apply as an alcoholic. |

I will still smoke, but I don't have a family to support or anything like that, but I would probably grow my own tobacco if the prices did double or move to the states and become a lumberjack. |

| 863567 | 2010-03-04 04:19:00 | Yep, and they will take out huge car loans and buy everything on HP and spend all their money on booze/smokes/drugs and sink themselves and the country further into debt. That's only a fail if they didn't plan to live that way. |

In that case people who care about me should be checkin me into rehab They are unaffordable (for me at least). lol your at school though right? I couldnt afford a pie for lunch when I was at school! |
