"Alcohol is the only drug on earth you have to justify not taking."
I find this quote really interesting. Growing up in a western country where people drink a lot of alcohol, not necessarily for the enjoyment of it but to get "hammered". I've countless times defended myself for both friends, family and new and existing co-workers for why I don't drink, and these people look at me like I'm some sort of alien. According to "these people" I am in fact a weirdo, because I've spoken about the affects of caffeine, taking cold showers/baths, fasting etc etc.
I'm not sure where I'm going with this, however, I hope there'll be a time where it's "acceptable" to go out with your friends, family or co-workers, and not be expected to drink alcohol or excluded just because you won't inject your body with legal "poison".
Note: I have nothing against people who drinks alcohol, but let's just enjoy each other's company and don't force it on me. Thanks.
Is there any truth to this or am I stuck in my head?
Coffee on the other hand. coffee is life. coffee is purpose. all hail the elixir of the dark lord!
in all seriousness though, I drink like a whole pot just to take up in the mornings. black
