Do you drink when you listen?

Awdeeofyle, I share the same theory as you stated. The tobacco and alcohol industries want to continue their monopolies as the only legal 'stimulants'.
Certainly, if drugs were legal/illigal based solely on 'public safety' issues, these two killers would be out of business.

Awdeeofyle- Agreed that Absinth is weird stuff, try Ricard or Pernod-the later being my favorite liquer, gives a buz unlike any other booze I've ever drank, I can only imagine what absinth did to those who crossed its path. I love ordering a Pernod and Cranberry draws some unusual looks from those tending the bar, but a super drink.

Cheers,

I just heard this, though of this thread...

Oh it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growing up fast
Drinking on a fake ID
And rama of the jungle was everyone's bawana
But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana

-Jimmy Buffet

Drink is O.K. with music,...Sex is better..

Sure, I drink when I listen. It's unavoidable...I drink all the time
