Points well taken, and I agree for the most part. Delivery is not always my strong suit, I'm working on it. Thanks for the feedback. I have already apologized to anyone who took this as a lecture. As I posted early on, that was not my intent. Yes, I did label the thread with such a broad categorical statement "Getting Drunk is a Waste of Life." That's my personal opinion after quite a bit of experience getting drunk. I think there are a million better ways to find fun and adventure. Like everyone else on this forum, I am entitled to express my opinion. I agree that it should be respectful; and I agree that I came off as a little broad and harsh. But perhaps you would understand why I have said the things that I did if you knew the things that I have witnessed. I guess I have seen so many people hurt by alcohol, and I hate to see them hurt. In reality, I know that the people that did things to hurt those people can not blame the alcohol itself. Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own actions, alcohol or not. I just care about those people, and I don't want those things to happen to others. Might sound naive, but this has been my campaign.

Thanks again for the constructive feedback.
