so you can't have fun while sober?
Person A: I ride my bike because it's fun.
Person B: So you can't have fun when you aren't riding ur bike? harh ahrhar
LOL riding a bike is good for you, alcohol is a poison....
I wasn't claiming that one is better than the other; I was pointing out that his response made no sense (i.e., if someone says they find something fun, it makes no sense to assume that's the only thing they find fun).
Alcohol is not necessarily a poison.
All I was saying is that if you can have fun while not drunk, why do you have the desire to get drunk? Seeing as how getting drunk will simply make you look stupid (except to other drunk people).
Riding a bike is another story. It's a form of exercise, and a lot of people (including myself) find it fun because of the physical exhilarations.
Alchohol is just a chemical suppressant that people drink to make themselves stupid (with the exception of wine) or to make their problems go away. I know one guy on my hall who openly said he "drank away his problems". Hell, if you have a problem FIX IT! If you can't fix it, ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON!
There's no problem with this formula unless the problem is chronically debilitating. In that case SEEK HELP.
To the kid's credit, a bunch of us on the hall have given him a pep talk or 2 and he's not drinking as much, but still...
