I was simply speaking from personal experience, from what I saw in college and even see with friends now - and myself on occasion. Nothing holier than thou about it. I don't think anyone here who 'drinks' - or has gotten drunk will disagree with that advice.
It was meant as general advice about drinking in, fancy that, a thread about alcohol. I can remember the pressure to drink that if you' (not you) couldn't handle it you were a 'light weight' or a 'two beer' ...and I am sure the same pressure exists today for many high school and college students. Thus, silly me I thought I might offer my experience using your statement -
because there are many people as with smoking who force themselves to like it.
So please, don't take it personally, and look at it for what it is.
as i said i think anyone older (as in over 25) here who drinks/did drink would probably agree with me.
