How much of a loser can a person be when alcohol is not enough for them?

Maybe some people don’t want to get cirrhosis, hepatitis, alcohol poisoning, or the dreaded testicular atrophy, among other alcohol-related diseases.

Personally, I’d say the guy gunning for testicular atrophy might be a loser, but that’s just me :)

Are you saying that alcohol should be "enough" to satisfy the sum total of a person's needs? What about the need for clothing, shelter, nourishment, companionship, etc.?

Oh! You actually meant "enough to meet their need for intoxication," right? Well, I'd leave that to the individual to decide for himself. "One man's meat is another man's poison," as they say. Or would you rather that the Nanny State decide what's best for you?

And as for being a "loser" - since when is that a crime, or even merely a condition requiring government intercession? And there are millions of alcoholics who don't touch other drugs who are likewise losers - as well as millions of tea-totallers who are also losers.

Regards,

Guess I'm a loser, lol! Maybe it was all the drinking I did in college and my early 20s... (I did ALOT of drinking, working in a beach bar). I just don't like to drink...I don't like the way it makes me feel. I have no use for other drugs either, but for one. I graduated high school in the 70s... I remember pot and would chose it over alcohol every time, were it an option.

Just my humble opinion.

I guess I'm a loser . . . I can't stand that taste of beer, wine gives me a headache and anything harder makes me nauseous.
