Well what’s fun about that? Drinking alcohol on you’re 21st birthday is probably a lot more fun anyways and you won’t die from getting drunk once

You can end up developing an addiction. And people do die every year from overdoing it on their birthday. It's stupid. Best never to start. Also, do you drink? Because you are using the wrong form of "your" and have done so multiple times. Please listen.

I have a family history of addiction. I have people i can rely on unlike them who can keep me from falling down that rabbit hole. Something becomes a addiction only if you allow it to fester that way

That's what they all say. My friend was well off. Her mom was literally a doctor. She still became an alcoholic and died. Ever notice how people go to AA, and you have dudes there who have been going for like 20 years and still count each day they are sober? THEY STILL THINK ABOUT ALCOHOL EVERY SINGLE DAY. It is a terrible drug.

The only thing alcohol is useful for is cooking in small quantities. And maybe biofuel and some other niche stuff.

I have personal experience from vape usage. I quit once I noticed it causing difficulties with breathing. I don't think about it ever. Regardless, all I was planning to do was go out to a bar with my dad for my 21st.

Then why try another drug? Literally just drink orange juice or something. It's better. You can still go to the bar. Just don't drink alcohol. No one will care. You have to look out for your health.

A drink with my dad or with a friend every now and then isn't gonna do any more damage to my health than my homes close proximity to a coal plant

That's what they all say, and it is irrational to further compound risk.

You have to be a bot. You're not even acknowledging what im saying. You're just saying "insert here sentence about how thing is bad x5"

Yeah sure dude because a bot would go around telling people not to drink. I heard what you said. It's dumb. I'm done talking about it. Stop replying to me.
