I am so glad that someone finally shares my perspective on drinking, drugs, and smoking. Everytime someone asks me to drink I always tell them I hate drinking. When they ask me to explain why I tell them "I like being in control of my actions" and they just laugh and call me a square or a prune. You were finally able to hit the nail on the head. Alcohol does not taste good, it makes you do stupid things, and so many people do it. Why can't we just say no?
