    Well it comes from Fox News so don't assume that the work supporting the the theory is invalid. But I am way over 40 and I
    stopped drinking pretty much at 30 yoa. I find the typical model
    for kids is to drink yourself sick or to unconsciousness, another
    sort of sickness. I have drunk alcoholics under the table.
    Young people should stick to cannabis.

    I had one drink last year of what was my favorite 55 years
    ago. It was a rum and coke. Tasted just as bad as I remembered.
    The next week I tried a straight coke and after that i had caffeine
    withdrawal headaches. I had to give up coffee in my mid-30s because
    of headaches which were migraine-form(i.e. horrible) and they happen
    when drinking coffee and for a long time after you stop.

    Young people need to learn to drink sensibly and not too insensibility IMHO. It means paying attention to how bad you feel
    when you overdo it.

    bliss - brought to you by the power and ease of PCLinuxOS
    the Perfect Computer Linus Operating System(for me),
    and a minor case of hypergraphia.

    Well that is weird and it seems to come from the Women's Christian Temperance Association mindset. They still want Prohibition restored
    after its terrible failure.

    I drank a fair bit back between 20-30 YOA but at 30 a physician told me that the medication I needed was hard on my liver so I should stop
    drinking which I did quite happily. Last year at meeting held at a bar
    I had a rum and coke and it tasted as bad as I remembered but I drank
    another cola and then had caffeine withdrawal headache. Once they start
    they go on for some time and have migraine-like symptoms.
    I had given up Coca-cola to save money many years ago.
    So very little drinking in 55 years.

    bliss - the medical cannabis patient and former LSD, Mescaline, and Psilocyben user. Aside from medical opiates nothing else. Opiates
    should only be used for pain that is happening before you use it.
    Oh I tried a Salon Pas 4% Lidocaine patch on my lower back yesterday
    when I had to go out and carry back a heavy package and it was
    a treat that I will save for necessary physical work.

    Well .. YOU made the choices based on YOUR particular
    needs and desires - instead of The State or High Holys
    dictating your state of consciousness.

    And yea, you can only take just SO many psychedelics
    before you're kinda permanently on the border of
    reality. My youth was in the 60s/70s and I've met a
    number of those "one and one and one makes three" guys :-)

    I really don't care why people take opiates. Tolerance
    can result in downstream effects though.

    Caffeine ... effects vary. I can go thru 400mg a day
    for days - and then to none for days. No headaches
    or anything.

    NOT sure what big frequent doses of Lidocaine can do.
    Maybe nothing, but check into it.

    Anyway ... note that DailyMail CAN be a good source
    of hard news - often the overlooked stuff. If you
    want the dirt and details 12/24 hours before anyone
    else tells it, try DailyMail. On the flip they seem
    to have a special division dedicated to declaring
    ANYTHING that makes people happy a LIFE THREATENING
    CRISIS. Next week they'll probably say that more than
    one orgasm per year will cause dementia or that
    eating a poached egg will make your ears fall off :-)
