I was thinking last night how stupid drinking really is, and how terrible it is for your health -- moved up to a level one carcinogen.
So not drinking really should be the norm, not the exception.
I sometimes say, I just don't, in the same way I don't smoke; but that always generates a discussion. So if its folks I might want to have that discussion with, I might answer that.
But I think if you limit to to its bad for my health, or doesn't agree with me, all of that is true as others have said. its the extra details about your stomach that creates the possible deception, and do you really need it... On the other hand, as you say, its really true..
There is also this "sober-just-cause" movement going, which I think is a great thing for young people.
We have to break the perception that drinking is normal and sobriety is odd!
