A glass of wine or whiskey after dinner never hurt anyone. My Grandpa never believed in wasting energy to keep beer in then fridge, so it was always kept on the basement floor. Every afternoon he would go down and have one. Before retirement, after getting off the bus, he would stop at the local tavern and have a beer (one), before he walked home. He and Grandma both lived to 95.
A neighbor that lived across the street would stop at a tavern on his way home from work. His car was dented and once he hit the streetlight, and another time he crashed into the tree in front of our house. THAT amount of beer HURT him and everyone else. Eventually, after a few DWIs he quit drinking. HE lived to 90 as well.
Another neighbor liked pot. As a gateway it lead to heroin and an accident that killed someone. He eventually succumbed to the disease at age 50.
Say what you will about whiskey. It CAN be bad, and IS bad for millions. However, I never met a pot head that was worth a ****. Now that our government is legalizing drugs, we must all be diligent. We are going downhill by the day.
