Do Americans drink much?

from beanfun:

it makes you fat and sloppy

...so true. It is the worst 'social' drug(if you want to even call it social). Sure, there are some drugs that would not make for a pleasant atmosphere, but alcohol tops 'em all. The only people that enjoy it are the ones drinking themselves. You could argue this for all drugs, but a person on meth, opiates, or even shrooms are more tolerable and/or entertaining than a helpless drunk who chooses to flop around like an idiot.
Alcohol also causes A LOT of deaths each year. The victims are usually the one's who suffer the most. Just about every time I hear of alcohol related fatalities(car crash), the people who die are the victims, while the inebriated are left without a scratch. What a shame and an embarrassment to the human race.
I've seen too many lives go down the drain due to alcohol addiction. I usually won't say stuff like this, but *someone's* side of the family are ALL alcoholics. That's 1 grandmother, 2 uncles, 1 aunt, and *someone's* father. Ironically, *someone* can't handle alcohol very well. Out of all of them, thankfully *someone's* father is the only one that is not a bum. Even though he is an alcoholic, he still holds a high position in management and is still unbelievably responsible(never saw a person like that in my entire life, truely one of a kind!) Don't fuckin' tell me that alcohol is not that bad! Fuck you for saying such a thing.

I agree with drunk people being no fun if you're not drunk, but people on E are worse to be around if you're not rolling.

I disagree... drunks are annoying unless you're drunk too, in which case you're being just as big an ass so you don't notice.. people who are rolling are not that bad as they usually do their own thing without pissing anyone else off.. plus chicks who are rolling usually wanna make out!

I disagree that drunks are no fun to be around. I actually enjoy being around drunk people sometimes, they make things interesting.
