I guess that omission tells us a lot about your life experience. That it didn't even occur to you that there are many people that have lived like that?
I drink very little, and honestly? I wouldn't care if it all dried up tomorrow and I don't think I've missed a thing.

Interesting that you got so much from so little.
FYI - I have never smoked pot or a cigarette in my life, neither have I touched any drugs.
That said, yes, I enjoy my occasional beer here and there, its almost a prerequisite when I fire up the grill to have a beer handy its almost a utensil.
I meet my brother once in a blue moon for happy hour at the local ale house and catch up with him, especially when we are both really busy.
I come from a long history of flaming alcoholics so I an very careful not to make a habit out of drinking.
What prompted this thread was the other thread about trying some herb that grows naturally and is not illegal yet.
I wondered who would try something like that, who searches for the new high. Is it a drinker? A habitual drug user? A pot smoker?
I was just curious but I see you have already drawn conclusions about me having never met me.
BTW- as far as my "life experience" goes, my wife, the woman I am married to for 18 years, drinks maybe 3 times a year. Probably less than you. We both exercise every day, eat healthy, and live active lifestyles. We rarely eat fast food and try to avoid processed foods. Heavy drinking really does not fit in with this lifestyle.
What also blew me away recently was a good friend that said something in conversation that this person and his/her spouse smoke a joint every night after the kids are put to bed. To be clear, I really do not care if someone smokes or not, I was more surprised because they were both professionals that have a somewhat high profile in the area and I could not understand getting popped for drug possession just to "relax." I really do not care what anyone does for recreation its never bothered me, its bothered me more that you have such a crappy out look on life that you have to find such a negative in such a general poll.
