I think drinking is overrated for similar reasons - not my parents, but other relatives and the relatives of friends. I don't think drinking makes you like that, but I hate how people sometimes probe me on why I don't drink, because I don't want to drink to make people happy - IMO, that is one way dangerous drinking starts, doing it to please people. I do drink on special occasions, and heck, sometimes I just feel like sitting back with one (once every two years), but I don't need to drink to have a good time. Thank heavens for that!
So do you call them "states" in Oz too? Or am I getting you terribly confused with someone else? I thought you lived in Australia.
Yeah, I can understand why people would drink occasionally. It's really just drunkenness that bothers me.
And yes, I'm in Oz. Our land mass is around the same size as North America so it's broken up into 6 states and 2 territories. They have the most unimaginative names ever. I live in Queensland. (We also have Western Australia, South Austraia, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, The Australian Capital Territoy -or A.C.T.- and The Northern Territory)
