I've come to realized that adults teach children not to do bad things , but when it come to us , we allow ourselves to drink Viagra and harmful drugs because we think we're "mature" enough .
And it's not just with drugs , we drink beers and wine and smoke even when we know they're gonna kill us .
It's been amazing how much beer and wines are Vietnamese doctors been drinking in a single party . I've been to many weddings , and my God , they drank like hell , drank to the last one standing . Even when we had been taught and learned about the harmful effects , we still drink them to fit in .
So , are we becoming easier with ourselves or are we just want to prove that we're "cool" enough ??
And one other thing, is that because we want to drink them ?? Or is that we wanted to fit in ??
Whose false is that ??
Us ?? Our colleagues ?? Or Our society ??

I've been studying the effects of Viagra and similar drugs and found them very interesting

So agree!, I'm glad I'm not the only one that understands this and actually cares about it! (other than for religious reasons) I always thought the saying "to be mature" meant to be wise, not mess up yourself up and be hypercritical by ignoring all we've been taught to protect our health. If we teach our children not to smoke, drink, do drugs ...ect, why should we? Ever since I was young like many others, I was raised to never drink, smoke, take caffeine or even swear, and people might see me as naive (childish) to live by those standards...but I just don't want to "fit in" in that typical foolishness.
Well... I don't drink, or smoke, or do drugs, or drink caffeine.... (But I'm no saint, I'm kinda addicted to chocolate and sweets). And I can say that people seem to have a big problem with the fact I don't drink coffee and don't drink alcohol. The smoking seems to be a good thing, but the other two... I don't fit in the normal pattern. A friend of my is trying to convince me to start drinking beer and wine and stuff. And I have heard on some occasion that I 'should take a drink, relax and have fun' . And I take that very offensive. Apparently it's more acceptable if you empty a bag in box with wine every week, than if you don't drink at all. I think that is totally fucked up.
Me too , I don't drink & smoke at all , and that's why I don't have lots of friend cause I don't go out with them much . Most of my friends in medical school go drink on Friday night , I don't I take YOGA class instead When other friends of mine go to bars on Sunday night , I don't, I go practice Yoga and meditation instead.
sometimes when I say I don't drink or smoke , people looked at my surprised . I don't know why .
There was a friend who told me that If you're an artist , and you don't drink , how do you suppose to think outside of the box. And I replied : there are many people who cannot do anything without drinking a class of wine , and I can't do anything if I drink a class of wine .
So , am I better than them ?? Yes
lol , I just guess that I'm a freak sometimes I think I'm like an old man
I feel like an oldie as well sometimes, just be course I don't go out and drink and party... It can be fun some times, but not every weekend... and if you can't be without alcohol, if you need to take one every night, then you have problems.
