And I believe that if alcohol wasn't put on such a damn pedestal then that would help significantly with alcohol-related issues, especially in young people. Teach them how to use alcohol properly and not treat it like some flashy thing that's just out of their reach. Give them a beer with dinner, or around the BBQ in a controlled environment. Don't wait for them to abuse it because it's been something denied to them and they don't know how to use it properly.
"Don't push the red alcohol-shaped button!!" Of course they're going to damn well push the button!
Yes! That's how I first experienced it in Germany. They handle it amazingly, they still have parties and get drunk and all that stuff. If I get a good beer, I drink it for taste. For a while though, it was like I was on a chain because my dad was and still is so strict with it. I've learned over time that getting drunk at a party is not essential to having fun and at the last party I went to, the beer we had just got to a point where it didn't taste good (I hate Budweiser -.-) and I just used it for Radlers because they taste good. And I never got drunk surprisingly, but man I noticed while sober is that when they know you are, they practically try to forcefeed you beer. Not fun, get that Bud
away from me it tasted like My absolute favorite is and always will be the all great Bavarian Weissbier
Nothing can beat it

EDIT. Altered for more sense. I've not been hunting for change for a while, not since the great pound discovery of '99

Mine hadn't changed since I switched from ska to metal in '96. Now I'm listening to glitch and breaks just because there's more of it that's spinnable. What's next? Going to those whatchacallits where people dance to electronic music? Where does it stop??

^^me too
Well, I still like my old music (German metal), but I'm also growing a taste for electronic, trance, and a lot of mainstream music now, even a little bit of rap. Not much rap though, mostly just a few songs.

I was living in this block of flats a good few years back and I was having a party with the other residence and this guy decided he would try and be funny and party shooter a bottle of Barcadi rum straight. Well, he did a third of the bottle and ten minutes later he passed out. I refused to let him crash at my place because when people start crashing out it ruins the mood. My neighbour offered to let him stay at her place so we dragged him over to hers and left him there face down on her bed. With his face to the side of course because you know some crazy
can happen when you pass out from drink. Towards the end of the night about 4 hours later we went to check on him and see if he was ok. He had pissed himself and of course all over her bed. Obviously the state I was in by that time I was on the floor howling with laughter. Good times ^^b HAHA! What a mug. Doing that with Rum is a total logic fail. Good call on telling him to GTFO. Bet your friend was kicking herself

first off, the subject was VERY indepth - it still makes my brain hurt.
second, the assessment question was a page long, with particular emphasis on going deep into the matter, but we were only given 1000 words to do it. so it was incredibly hard to cover everything.
third, the lecturer and markers were nazi's when it came to marking, really pedantic, I lost ALL my referencing marks for putting a space in my references that wasnt meant to be there, and I got 1/10 for historical accuracy because I mentioned Sir Major Thomas Mitchell in reference to an event before he became a 'sir'
ANd lastly because I study Outdoor Education. The students who do this subject spend most of the time swinging from ropes or paddling rivers. Our academic prowess isnt that accomplished.
