Alcohol… what’s the point?
The UK has a big drink problem. Let me rephrase that: the UK has a MASSIVE drink problem. Why?
Is life here so f&$king miserable that people just feel the need to blow out what remains of their teeny-tiny brains and escape to a world where they are king, and everyone else is a mere peon?
Are people so f£$king stupid that they don’t realise that binge drinking is so incredibly bad for you that alcohol accounts directly for 5% of all british deaths, upto 40% of all traffic accidents (depending on who you ask), and almost ALL cases of physical abuse (in and outside the home).
Not only that but it makes you act like a total dick. Seriously, I’ve known guys off their face on cocaine who were easier to get along with than most drunkards.
And don’t think I’m not talking to you… yes you the reader… At a party when you have had one too many ‘wifebeaters’ and ‘think’ you’re being funny, you’re not… everyone may be laughing ‘at’ you, but that’s because you’re being a dick.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling for abstinence here. I occasionally like a drink to complement a nice meal, or even a smooth glass of Southern Comfort and a tasty cigar, and have in the past been something of a stoner. Yes, I know smoking is bad (very bad), but I’ve never seen a stoner smash anyone else in the face with a glass or go home and beat their wife. Typically they are too busy playing X-Box or making sandwiches.
So: Stop drinking like a dick… and you might just stop being one too.
