Thank you for the followup. I was always dead set against drugs, including pot. But I never looked at alcohol as dangerous, and it is probably the worst. But I am looking for answers to find what would drive someone in that direction, because I have kids and I want to make sure they steer clear of them. And it's scary to read about your reason for usage and at the same time read how truly bright and reasonable you are. Thank you again for your input, it has opened my eyes a little more.
