02/21/2006 | Let me join Szinhonshu in congratulating you on a position that is well beyond the silly viewpoints of most people your age. A lot of people I know have been destroyed by this stuff, and few things aggravate me more than this foolishness I get when people learn I'm Irish- " you must love to booze." Hell, no, any time you hear the Irish, the Scottish, the Native Americans, The Russians, et cetera, those people can pound, it's bull, it's the opposite, it means they're more likely to have drinking problems. I've got the first three in me already so I avoid the stuff for myself, seen it kill a lot of people, literally, though I CERTAINLY don't believe in infringing on the rights of others to do so responsibly...

02/21/2006 | SZ: You can also thank my mother for realizing that he was an alcoholic when she did. I spent the first 10 years of my life in his company and already saw what it could do. The smell alone, is enough to churn my stomach nowadays; although most people think I should have gotten over it by now. Maybe it's not the alcohol itself, but rather it's ability to remind me of my ex step-father in the process that churns my stomach. As some of you know, and others of you don't; my ex step-father was a pedophile, which is why I recently took such a stance on the illegal sex acts thread. My childhood in general is something that churns my stomach, and alcohol only fuels to remind me of the causes behind it.

02/21/2006 | You are now automatically in the top quartile rank of intelligence for persons traipsing around this country because the children of slcoholics are far statistically more likely to become alcoholics than other Joes who are wandering around. I hope you have the same attitude/avowed position at the ages of 29 and 39. Stay away from that sh--, kid, it's poison ... in more ways than one. But if you've lived with a juicer, I'm not telling you something you don't already know so I apologize if that came off as condescending or overly paternal.
