When I was very little, we had a neighbor who would get wasted all the time. I remember watching him out my window (I was only 5 or 6) smashing the windows of his car with a baseball bat, throwing the BBQ around the yard, overturning the patio table etc.etc.etc. I was terrified of him. Very bad memories. Laying back in bed, I was so afraid that he was going to come into my window. *shudder* And this happened so many times!!

Then, a couple of years ago, we were living in a 3 apartment house. We woke up with a start around 3 am...the woman next door was stinking drunk, tearing up and down the porch stairs. She broke a window, overturned her 20 gallon fish tank, smashed all her glass dishes. It was some night. After that episode, our landlord had a tough time kicking her out.

So, no, I don't drink. At all. It's stupid, it's a waste of $, and a waste of my life. I've seen what it does to other people, and i've learned the lesson that they should have learned.
