convence me.

[tex guy]

im a very logical person. ive convenced myself that drinking isnt as bad as i thought.< thats my problem convence me that it is bad. oh and im talking just once in a while with friends drinking. oh and say something other than its illegal for me. ive already heard that one.

It would seem rather pointless to convince someone who's already made up their mind.

[lallous]

This might sound silly, but do you want convincing, or a second opinion?
If you want an opinion, I don't think drinking is that bad. (as long as its done in moderation of course, and that you don't hurt yourself).
For example, some beer and a cocktail might be OK for some people, but for others, a glass of beer might be too much.

If you are convinced about it then there is very little point in us trying to change your mind.
As long as you get to know your own limits with alcohol and you only drink socially then I don't see the problem. In other words, drink in moderation and don't use drink to feel better as it never works.

[serial-thrilla]

Well alcohol is a drug. Only do it once in a while, and dont become dependant on it and yeah i really dont see any problems.

Cirrhosis is one reason. If you start drinking more and more, you can end up with cirrhosis (liver disease) and die.

It tastes bad. Leads to habituation and addiction just like anything else. Doesn't combine well with other drugs.

[tex guy]

well i see yall point aboutit pointless trying to change my mind but i had convience myself before that it was really bad for me just like any other drug i figured that my mind might be changed back just as quick as it was changed the first time. awell thanks anyways

it'll make you gay.
Sometimes I think the only answers that will matter, that people will actually listen to are these! But now that I've gotten your attention, booze is a drug, you can become physically and psychologically addicted to it, it can ruin your liver (which you need to live), and it kills brain cells (which i'd like to think you need, too). It impairs judgement, it effects social relationships, and it can cause impotence (this isn't a joke, try a little experiment).

You can attempt to justify your drinking behavior, but when you';re all alone and maybe when you're all hung over, ask yourself exactly why you do it. If it's any reason other than to wash down that Chicken Cordon Bleu then I think you might be heading towards a bigger problem than you think.

[serial-thrilla]

well i think that the reason that most people drink is because alcohol is a social drug. It makes you want to talk and socialize with lots of different people, which is why it is so commonly used at parties. Just dont drink too often or if you have an addictive personality.

[Maverick]

Yeah I agree with serial-thrilla. Also, a lot of people feel as if they have to drink because everyone else is.

When you drink it doesn't mean you have to overdo it. Do it in moderation and it's not a major problem. Only people who abuse it can become alcoholics or wind up in worst situations like drunk driving or doing something stupid while drunk that can get you arrested.
