    Very cutesy reply. I see you looking down on people who choose to drink elsewhere in this thread. I don’t know if you think alcoholism is funny, or depression is funny, or if you’re just running your mouth about things you don’t understand, but you’re being a bit silly.

      My dad was an alcoholic. And I’m well-acquainted with depression. None of this is funny. And I think people who put poison into their bodies are idiots. That shouldn’t even be an opinion. People who put poison into their bodies are idiots. Period. They’re hurting themselves and everyone & everything around them. Just so they can drink something that makes them feel good for a minute.

      I even dated a high-functioning alcoholic for 6 years. Same story. Alcohol was more important to him than anyone or anything else in the world no matter how hard he pretended otherwise.

      When I say I’m thirsty it means I literally need water. When he said he was thirsty, he meant he needed alcohol. He looked at me like I had three heads when I drank water. He couldn’t even imagine drinking water.

      Regarding putting poisons into our bodies, generally a bad idea unless it’s chemotherapy or something prescribed by a doctor who knows the benefits outweigh the risks etc.
