My parents were both alcoholics and beat the shit out of each other every night for the first four years or so of my life...can't say it changed my life much..but I can now look back on that..and to when I used to be a heavy drinker a couple of years ago. I never would want to do anything like that to my family..EVER. Which is why I don't drink...very occasionally..within the past eight months I've had probably three shots of rum and a couple of beers..nearly every day before then for quite a while.

Well, if that taught me anything, it's precisely how NOT to raise my children. I think I'll stick to marijuana...
