    Thanks for that. Some people are a bit slow on the uptake. :)

      Perhaps you need to get out more?

      You're probably right. I don't usually get out unless it's to go to the gym or something. I don't like getting out really.

        However the statement seemed to suggest that addiction was the only outcome or at least a significantly expected outcome. And that of course is wrong.

          Then you're reply should have been shorter?

          Nit pick much? Obviously he's not talking about a beer a day. Of coarse, we can expect that since you started with "No idea what that means".

          Certainly talking about alcohol however since he specifically said that. Other than that there is no context except it seems one of complete abstinence. So the phrase I quoted is still in doubt since, again there are a great deal of difference between casual usage, individual variances, how they are used and what the drugs are. Similar to my mind in claiming that a player of an electronic violin is no different than an embedded C programmer because both use an electronic device.

            I wonder how you came to that conlcusion? I'm willing to bet you are the only reader who thought so.

              I'm beginning to find it humorous that you spend as much time as you do debating because you can't see things that are implied and/or get hung up on a detail that was trivial to the actual point.
