The main reason I've decided to abstain from alcohol is because I've seen first-hand what alcoholism does to a person. I've don't want to end like my dad.
Same! I'm Gen-X and promised myself at age 4 when I witnessed my dad was always stumbling into the house drunk & ill & scary, I have no desire to put any poison into my body. Still never have and never will.
If alcohol guarantees death at 60 like my alcoholic narcissistic pos dad, I think I'll just keep drinking. Other drugs too because I'm not a fucking square like he was :). If you have someone (even if it's just you) to protect from yourself, I completely understand. edit: shit, if you have another good reason, that's cool too. I'm drunk.
