[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3126842, member: 24583"] Read most of this thread up to here. Twiss, I totally agree with you. But to me here is the rub "Whatever dumb decisions you make in your own home are fine with me." If like Mr. CHenry desires, what he does in his own living room is his own business, I think most everyone would agree, no different that many other things, however There are many people who do not posses the ability to keep it in their own living rooms. I think this is the rub for me and a lot of other people. I used to work in the construction industry with a wide variety of people. The beer drinkers, which I was one, were slow in the mornings after being out late, but could make it up in the afternoon after it burnt off. The "pot heads" never could figure out why they were in the first layoffs. Never caused a problem, never deviated from what they were trying to do, never were quite up to expected production level. I say this as a generality. I had a super salesman work for me for a couple years. Started his morning with orange juice, somehow could stand peppermint candies all day long with it covering the vodka smell. Had one draftsman designing electronic control circuitry for process control projects. Brilliant designing PLC software logic, as long as I had him working in an area where he could visit his car for a "smoke" at least every two hours. That is the rub, not everybody is the same. Me, as I drink, I tend to focus down to the item at hand, 100mph on the back tire, or being sure all the rods and mains are torqued at 45lbs and 90lbs. before we line it up for the driver hit the throttle. Some people are like a zoom flash light, get more scattered out and might miss something, or focus down more to a pinpoint of what they are doing and ignore the sides. Maintaining situational awareness in your living room, or out in public, especially driving. It is not always a reflex action, common sense has to come into play, some people loose theirs. I wonder how many people are arrested because they have and are doing drugs, or are under the influence of drugs while they are sitting in their living rooms when they are arrested? CHenry can you give us some statistics on that? [/QUOTE]
