Aspinthion, alcohol is a bad thing to get into, and I'm about to start moralising you on your lifestyle

I've known alot of alcoholics in my time, and have seen the damage that is inflicted upon those people. It amazes me that the government are so hell-bent on outlawing recreational drugs (I exclude such things as heroin and crack, cos those things need to be banished from our world), when alcohol is responsible for a great majority of social degradation. But, yet again, there is too much money involved for the politicians to address the issue.
Schools will bang on to kids about the dangers of taking drugs (and rightly so), but hardly ever highlight the dangers of alcohol - very addictive and destructive drug. Bizarre!

It is a nasty trap to find yourself in, and I feel for you - especially as it is probably one of the hardest habits to kick.
I think that the film "Leaving Las Vegas", should be a mandatory requirement to all young people to watch, during their formative years.
And most people do not realsie that it is a hereditory disease (I hate to term it that way, but it is a fact).

Keep it real, man
