alcohol and drugs

[fruitsalad]

why do so many people of today turn to drink and drugs?

[crete]

because they answer questions on answerbank : )

[Delgirl]

I believe it to be the pressures of modern day life, when i've had a really stressful day, an alcoholic drink is the only thing that turns me off from it.

[ummmm1]

Or it could just be for the fun element

[whiffey]

Delgirl, you are spot on. Alcohol enables relaxation and escape. Crack a can and the tension drains away. In this situation though, avoid computing your weekly 'recommended units' - very depressing.

so today whiffey ive used up all my points what should i do ?

[whiffey]

crete, draw credit on tomorrow's. I'm only 32 so I think I have a bit of metabolism in reserve, and I am into Sunday's credits already.

[ummmm1]

Im gonna use up two weeks units tonight me thinks

[crete]

might i use next xmas days points this weekend?

[jhosking1981]

In that case I will have to stop drinking completely when I'm 30 in order to return back to normal!

[joko]

if its all they think about when the first get up in th emorning then its generally to escape, but if its only say once a week at a party, its for fun.

either way both are easy to acquire so that helps their decision to indulge.

[IggyB]

drink and drug use is centuries old, not just a modern trend

[PinkFizz]

God,and I thought 14 units was an hourly allowance - not a week!!!

[Lonnie]

Because they're allowed to, not enough discipline, love and direction from their elders.

It was a woman who drove me to drink. But, I forgot to write and thank her.
