> Also, this does tie in with Type issues. As a Four I just can't get how people can not see through the labels and the marketing and see things for what they are -- ALCOHOL is a drug, one of the worst, I'll repeat, but has the stamp of approval of corporate America.
***They cant control it if it was illegal, so its legal with restrictions. Cigarets on the other hand should be illegal. Alcohol has benifits as long as not overconsumed. Tobacco has NO benifits whatsoever.
