Alcohol should be frown on by society

[Telstra]

Neither did Hitler.

I made this thread because i have an alcoholic housemate and i blamed his aggressive behaviour on alcohol.
But i'm wrong. He is still aggressive towards another housemate after afew days.
I'm in the process of asking him to leave and find another place. I don't want to air this on going situation.

In the future..you can tell alot about someone when they are drunk and remember the person they become isn't really a surprise..that person lives in there all the time.....

You weren't necessariiy wrong though..you just have the whole picture now.

I find that alcohol really only brings out the real person inside.

So if someone is dark and mean and aggressive....it only takes a few drinks to trigger and heighten these behavioural traits.

Some of us, on the other hand, just get sleepy and happy.

Alcohol is a drug that is more acceptable to western societies than weed for example, while others tolerate it more than alcohol. It's relative.

Frowning upon an indulgence in a drug imposes social restraints on harmful behavior and can decrease its negative effects.

To say the obvious, alcohol and drugs are fun and enjoyable for many people with few adverse consequences. Many, even with alcohol and drug abuse problems, are fully functioning and never stop.

Frowning on alcohol and drug use sucks non-users into the problem as if they were using themselves. Think of it in terms of second hand smoke. A better response is to disengage one's attitude and focus away from problem users, including, if need be, moving, kicking them out or not being around them.

As far as society is concerned, some bad consequences clearly have to be controlled and stopped. But if folks enjoy the stuff with no bad consequences, good luck to them. They'll need it.

I think later today I will have some alcohol to pop off a three day weekend.

Then by all means, you should drink lots more. Maybe you'll move from the former to the latter.

I think you misunderstand. Mean and aggressive people are still mean or aggressive when drunk. And 'mean' it twined with the concept of inequality and unfairness. I can understand how you keep getting confused, you don't seem intimately concerned with the repercussions of being a pile of petty, self-serving blowhard.

Your reading-for-content capabilities really are quite shit, aren't they. He used a personal pronoun (us) in a statement when commenting on sleepy & happy being an affect of drinking. That you get pissed when people call you on your shit is your own damned problem.

LOL! Really? Someone needs to get laid.

I just have gotten into the wonders of whisky. What a marvelous tipple! I sip it straight with just a bit of water. Go for it.

W.C. Fields: Did I come in here last night with a twenty dollar bill?

Bar Tender: Yes, you did.

W.C. Fields: Thank goodness, I thought I lost it.
