yeah well if you have to tell people it's ok where you live it's evident that it's not so ok where you're doing it.....Pixelation is worldwide not in south USA.
There is a sexually transmitted disease that kills 100% of the infected population and there's no known cure for it, it's called life :p so yeah I dont pay much attention to statistics, we live life as individuals and the perspective of an individual has nothing to do with statistics, statistics are for corporations trying to have multinational control that try to treat us as asheep and lump us into homogeneous groups.
At a time I used to see alcohol as something I'd never try. That didnt last very long because at the end of my adolescence I got bored of my verbose overly serious side (which the oldies in pixelation have seen a lot of :p) so I got drunk to see if I became suddenly extroverted. Obviously that didnt work :p.
But I feel that if you never try even a little bit of alcohol you might see it as something indecipherable and mysterious, like I did before I tried it.
There's nothing too mysterious or worthwhile about it, getting "wasted" or puke-level drunk is not worthwhile.
The reason I think it's so accepted to get wasted is because that's the only enviroment where people dare to show their basest desires, and it's the "ok" place to do so, you can always excuse what you regret to do with "I was drunk that day". I think that's bs personally, I always stay accountable no matter how drunk. I think we should all just learn be emphatic and laugh at ourselves instead of getting wasted.
I think drinking is good if you try one or two beers ( or wine or whatever form of non hard alcohol you choose) and see what that does to you, on that dose it can be relaxing and it can help develop the taste for bitter flavors. that's what I do now-a-days. There's one thing I still want to try though, Absynth....because of all that hype
