E.Central MN | Compared to when I was young, I think society has made quite a bit of progress on drinking and smoking cigarettes. Some people are unable to quit once they start drinking even knowing that it's having a terrible effect on their family. A friend of mine in high school had to have a lock on his door because his dad would come home drunk and try to beat him up. Many companies sponsored events where liquor was provided and even looked the other way when management came back drunk after lunch. Sales people were allowed to run up big bar tabs, etc. Glad it's not as "acceptable" as it used to be. It has played such a big role in how people "learned how" to socialize with others that it's still a problem for a lot of people (like Tiger Woods). Some people can't have just one drink of alcohol. | |
