And again, alcohol is only desired for the effect it causes, NOT for the taste and appreciation of it. Tell me the true reason and I will give that person credit: you want to get drunk and get loose without worrying about getting in trouble....If it's truly the taste, drink alcohol free! But it's not. This is probably where I have the most problems with the arguments people are putting forth: they are not being truthful, in my opinion. If alcohol didn't produce the physical effect it does, it wouldn't mean a darn thing...It doesn't even taste that good (that's probably why, when I do drink, it's an ice cream concoction with chocolate syrup and stuff). I'm so weary over this because, no matter what, people are still going to say "If I can die, blah blah blah..." and "You need to learn to tolerate it, so start earlier..." when they are avoiding stating the obvious reasons: getting wasted! And maybe this is exactly why you need to mature emotionally a bit more before you can legally get you hands on the stuff.

First I dont give two $hits about "And truthfully, the whole reason people want it to be legal is so that they can not stress about fighting their desires and cravings for this substance." Its legal for many of us on this board, myself included, and I still eant it lowered. Because I believe it should be. Dont tell me why I drink either. You've never even met me, please. Actually I DO enjoy the tast of wine,and often think a nice Riesling is a great compliment to a meal. I also enjoy the smooth flavor of Southern Comfort. And I do both without getting plowed...or even buzzed. When I do wanna get hammered, I do it by drinking beer. I do like the taste of a good hefferviesen.
But i'll make the argument, as I am feeling a bit fiesty today.
Babydoll, when you get a bit older, you wont see the world as much in terms of black and white. There are shades of grey. That will come with age. Just because some fools in a legislature somewhere all voted the same way and created a law, that doesnt make it just. There are unjust laws. And if people didnt complain against unjust laws and work to change them, Rosa Parks would still be riding on the back of the bus.
