I think it's funny that in order to have "fun" or to "live a life," some people feel that you HAVE to drink and/or smoke. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy a good, cold beer or mararita as much as the next person. But I can also have a pretty good time without the need to imbibe.

What is funny about that?? Alcoholism is a serious disease and there are some people out there that feel that way and are addicted to it and it tears apart their families and their lives, nothing funny that I can see. But this has nothing to do with my post, I said they gave up even social drinking because one study suggested it MIGHT cause breast cancer. I think you can find a study out there somewhere to prove anything that you wanted to.

You're absolutely right. Alcoholism IS a serious disease. However, I don't think I mentioned alcoholism at all in my post. When I said it was "funny" I meant that it was funny as in "strange," not funny as in "ha-ha." Sorry for the confusion.
