You won't get anywhere with it dude.
sure he can, i address almost everyone's posts to me, no matter how off base or uninformed.
I was a psychology major (undergrad) specifically bio psyschology, and I did my practicum research on alcohol dependence (we used human subjects).
Substance Abuse is defined as (I'm not making this up, this is from the DSM-IV, used near universally by medical profressionals)
One or more of the following:
FAILURE TO FULFILL MAJOR OBLIGATIONS
USE WHEN PHYSICALLY HAZARDOUS
RECURRENT LEGAL PROBLEMS
RECURRENT SOCIAL OR INTERPERSONAL PROBLEMS
Substance Dependence
Three or more of the following:
TOLERANCE
WITHDRAWAL
LARGE AMOUNTS OVER A LONG PERIOD
UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORTS TO CUT DOWN
TIME SPENT IN OBTAINING THE SUBSTANCE REPLACES
SOCIAL, OCCUPATIONAL OR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES
CONTINUED USE DESPITE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES
this is actually true.there is a difference between abuse which describes the using behavior and dependence which signifies effects of the behavior.

My dad says the exact same thing about African American's and homosexuals.
And what I tell my dad applies to you. That opinion shows gross prejudice and ignorance about the groups you are discriminating against.

Yes. Not wanting a habitual illegal drug user around your family or business is the same thing as being a bigot.
you also have not answered my previous questions, but I'll give you one more.
Would you be ok with someone who was a daily drinker (say a beer or two after work most days) working for you? around your kids? or dating your sister?
you've seen the flow of "conversation" with this guy, he likes to make statements but doesn't engage in any sort of conversation. I was hoping something would snap him out of that as it isn't very productive.

Beer is legal, right?
