Quote:I disagree with you in this one. I think we all should be allowed to choose our lifestyle and those people who choose to drink make their own choices. Alcohol does bring with it all kinds of social and health problems but only if taken to excess.Even the smallest drop of it can disorient you, as my anatomy teacher told me. Ya, people make their own choices, but alcohol leans towards the down side of the scale.
Quote:You know the old saying, there are lies, damned lies and there are statistics Look at it another way, most accidents on the road are NOT due to drunk drivers. I think people using cell phones while driving are a bigger pest.Oh, interesting, I sure I heard that 1/50 people on the road are drunk from some sourse, forgot what it was.
Cell phones are hazardous yes...and I think you can be arrested for it now. It takes the individual's eyes off the road, the indiviual only seems to use his periferal vision.
As for smoking...many other immoral things have crept into the muslim part of the world. And have stayed there. Sad...truely sad.
