I come from a long line of rigid, ascetic, abstinent mormonism. I even served an LDS mission for 2 years, which were the greatest 2 years for me to date. Except it wasn't the religion that made it great, it was being exposed to various ideologies, and seeing how everyone else views life and eternity. Now I see mormonism as pretty goofy, but there is some that holds true, like making yourself a god over your own earthly dominion, trying to be LIKE jesus rather than using jesus only as a care-giver, family values, etc.

didn't mean to wax religious. I wonder if my heritage of abstinence in some way relates to my extreme resistance levels to intoxicants. weed or alcohol, I maintain a fair amount of sobriety while consuming either. reason would suggest that a family history of substance abuse is more likely to desensitize you to inebriation, though
