People that are alcoholic are simply wired differently; the idea that most people choose to be that way is not what I have observed, and I'm confident I've spent much more time around drunks (active and recovering) than 99% of the people here.

Quite right, which is why I took offense to someone with a fresh DUI saying that we had an inappropriate view of alcohol.

Exactly. How can they defend themselves fueled by cauliflower? C'mon now.

That "wired differently" thing has more credence that some might think.

Not for nothing, but if you can't call the idiots of BF idiots, there's no point to even being in this think tank in the first place.

Go veggie. Damn, I want a steak right now.

Funny how the researchers from Harvard, Cornell, Oxford all say this. Maybe this will become a trend amongst health conscious people.

I must have missed something. I thought calling out idiots was still in-bounds .. you just cannot talk about kittens, or police, or donkeys, or elephants, or razor, but you can still say ass.
