No to drugs, except for dire medical needs and that is with plenty of regulations and control so people don’t abuse that right and screw it up for people who really need it. I told myself I’d never drink, and I didn’t keep that promise. I’m not big on drinking, I don’t need to drink to fill some void, I drink on occasion when I am out. I do keep alcohol in my house for entertainment purpose only when I have guests or occasional celebration. I’m a social drinker, can hold my alcohol, and don’t feel pressured to drink if I don’t feel like it.
I've grown up in Eastern Culture where drinking is not a taboo and social prohibition at early ages. We rarely came across problem of DUI or Alcohol poisoning. Since alcohol was not prohibited and a taboo, we also don't have problem with teen drinking out of control. I believe the more we make a big deal out of drinking and alcohol, the more drinking problem we have to deal with as society as a whole. After all, curiosity is one of the trait characteristic of any human being including our youth.
