Why I don't drink.

[Cthulhu]

Well, not the only reason. But certainly a good one. I was taking a break from chemistry and wandered on to the weird part of youtube. Started out by looking Rand Paul and somehow through the clicking I wound up with "Snake eats man".

So naturally. This is the result-

Yikes!

Drinking is expensive. You must save a lotta money that way.

I hate snakes.

Apparently it's a hoax: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/python-eats-drunk-man-india-hoax-twitter-526218
Although it does appear that he ate something really large.

Well, it's still a good reason not to engage in public drunkenness.

Snakes usually just strangle people. It would take a really big snake to suck down a grown man- with the chest / shoulder size and all that.

Well, it's still a good reason not to engage in public drunkenness.Probably wouldn't be much of a deterrent here in the north. Headline would probably be escaped python freezes to death while trying to eat drunk guy. Hungry coyotes on the other hand would probably do some damage to a drunk guy in the field if he didn't freeze to death first - notice a theme here?

[MrJimmyDale]

I'll drink to that!!!!

When I was working as a police officer an overwhelming majority of our homicides involved one or more people who were drunk. Most domestic violence calls which had actual physical violence involved on or more people who were drunk. Many, perhaps close to a majority, of our rapes involving force involved drunks. Most of our physical assault cases involved drunks. All of our drunken driving deaths involved drunks.

I always appreciated the "it's not my fault, I was drunk" defense. But, really, I can think of an awful lot of reasons not to get drunk.

[Alyosha]

I don't drink because my liver would decided to go on me again and I'd probably die.

Good reason.

[Captain Obvious]

Just limit yourself to one drink.

There is not much worse than a meth head who also has been drinking.
Now we have cocaine laced with bath salts! That's fkn crazy!

And Obama makes the ludicrous statement that pot isn't any worse than alcohol. No comparison! Alcohol is the worst drug of all! No one ever died from a pot overdose.

Dr. Strangelove: "And Obama makes the ludicrous statement that pot isn't any worse than alcohol. No comparison! Alcohol is the worst drug of all! No one ever died from a pot overdose."

I agree that alcohol is worse than marijuana but the devotees of marijuana should consider that cancer is worse than AIDS.

[Mr. Right]

If you drink so much that you can't engage in a meaningful conversation, you've crossed the line. As my pop once said, "Alcohol is a fine servant, but a terrible master."

[patrickt]

One problem is that drunks think their babbling is meaningful conversation. A family member will start long rambling stories that change direction a half-dozen times and have no point.

When I quit drinking noticed that all my friends were boring drunks. It took awhile to realize that the reason all my friends were boring drunks was because I'd spent some years as a boring drunk.
