    alcohol destroys and kills more people than drugs. Ban and you will see criminal enterprise become even more powerful. Capone will come back..

    i guarantee you that policies of illegal drugs have killed more people via violence than legalized drugs would’ve ever killed. Just look at the thousands in mexico and Us who kill themselves in the thousands and thousands and mostly because of engaging in illegal activity, which results is violence. There are no rules in that underground world.

    95 percent of drinkers are social

    No...I'm seriously not depressed at all. I do a lot of "not social norm" stuff but it's mainly because of my situation. When I want to go out to dinner I go out to dinner, usually sitting at the bar by myself and talking to random other dudes who are doing the same. If I want to see a movie then I go. And I know the whole drinking alone thing is "weird" to most people but I mean whats the point in spending 5 bucks per drink at a bar just to be around people when I can drink for a fraction of the cost at home while watching a ball game or a movie.

    I'm just not a very social person, never have been even when I was a kid. Introvert. I earn more money than I could spend even if I actually tried, I have a nice house, the type of job that makes most people go "holy ****", and not really a care in the world outside of the stressful "cool" job.

    I do take prescription drugs though but they're pain killers for some old battle scars I have. Nothing to do with depression. If you wanted to make me depressed then force me to have 2 or 3 roommates in my house or something. There's always a misconception that introverts are depressed and sad people, we really aren't, we just live our lives in a way that would make most extroverted people go crazy lol.

    Sorry that you suffered so much in Iraq/ Afghanistan
    Maybe cut the alcohol out Mon-Thurs as your liver won’t last long

    To be honest I really don't drink during the weekdays very often. I may have a beer with dinner once or twice during the week but thats pushing it. On the weekends I'll have a few more. It has more to do with age than anything else. When I was a young buck I could pound the booze like the current kids do. I'm talking a case of beer or a bottle of whiskey and then wake up and go run 5 miles at 5am. Nowadays if I drink too much on a Friday night I still hurt on Sunday night....and now after about 2 or 3 drinks I'm ready for bed at about 9pm.

    I see these kids nowadays at my little local bar pounding back the drinks like water and I wonder how in the hell...? Then I remember that I used to be like them too. I'm serious, if you think college frat boys drink then go watch some young military folks. Those kids will drink gallons worth of booze at night and be perfectly functional in the morning lol.

    I appreciate your words, but I seriously am perfectly fine. I'm an average guy who just enjoys peace and quiet and solitude. Not depressed even in the slightest and very happy with what I have accomplished in my life. I know that my brief "profile" makes me seem like a full blown psychopath or something but the reality is that I'm basically the middle aged neighbor you might see sitting on his porch who smiles and waves to you every day who you would feel bad for and put a Christmas card in my mailbox because you think I'm sad or lonely or something.

    Folks are just different. I mean it when I say the absolute worst punishment for me would be if you required me to live in this house with even my 2 best friends. After about 3 days I would be losing my mind. Introverts need their solitude to recharge our batteries. I am very social when I'm social, but when I'm not willing to be social I need my quiet house where the only noise in here is me singing along to my 80s rock music lol.

    Booze kills more than all other drugs combined. (With the exception of tobacco. It’s in a class all by itself!) It’s illogical to allow tobacco and alcohol but not other drugs.

    no, legalized drugs will destroy the cartels, they will now not have a monopoly as anyone would be able to sell drugs. The prices of illegal drugs will plummet too.. the cartels would just morph into shops and superstores selling drugs, legally. They also will not need to resort to chopping heads, melting people in acid to survive. Prohibition is what made the mob thrive and become more powerful than ever, gave rise of capone. Guess what the mob moved into after alcohol was made legal? Prostitution and drugs. More illegal stuff.. make it all legal and then what? The criminal enterprises become nothing more than grocery stores, tobacco stores, alcohol stores. Do all the owners of these establishments resort to murder and violence to keep business alive? No, same with drugs and prostitution... just places where you could buy sex or drugs, legally. The cartels and gangs are the last ones that want drugs and prostitution legalized. Now anyone could offer these goods and services, not just the ones powerful enough to do it criminally and maintain their power via sheer bloody violence.

    I'm with you on that. While I don't do drugs I do consider myself a fairly rational person. I find it completely illogical that I can walk into the store, purchase 10 bottles of whiskey if I want, go home and consume an entire bottle, pass out on my face in a puddle of my own vomit, and that's perfectly legal.

    But if I choose to smoke weed or snort coke and pass out on my face that's somehow illegal.

    That literally makes no rational sense and it's purely arbitrary laws that have been grandfathered in by mostly elderly folks who were always taught that "drugs are bad".

    If a lawmaker were to come out and say that we should ban alcohol because cocaine and meth is illegal then I, as a logical person, wouldn't be able to even refute that with anything other than the fact that I like alcohol and don't do drugs....
