Oh dear. You really don't want to get into this with me.

I was just going to leave until you replied with that...

Did I ever say I was talking about saftey when I said you could mess up your life? No. If you get caught with the drugs or even dealing it (do you deal?), and the cops catch you, you've messed up and could go to jail.

Same thing doesn't apply to drink.

Some drugs have huge side effects which drink doesn't have if taken in small quantities.
