SK>JK>Sonny, I don't know what mountain top you live on behind high walls
SK>JK>with barbed wire enclosures that isolates you from reality.  The
SK>JK>blunt truth is that a "pure" alcoholic is almost unknown today.  Most
SK>JK>addicts are using at least two drugs besides alcohol and I am not
SK>JK>limiting this to caffeine and nictotine.
SK>Sorry, Mommy, but you are turning the point around again. YES, people
SK>that use drugs do tend to use other drugs and alcohol. The point was
SK>that MOST PEOPLE THAT DRINK ALCOHOL DO NOT USE OTHER DRUGS.
That is a lie.  A very poor one, but nevertheless, a lie.  And if you
had one whit of the knowledge that you think you do, you would
understand why it is a lie.
There are very, very few folks today who don't use other drugs along
with alcohol.  They smoke, getting nicotene all over the place.  They
also drink coffee which has caffeine in it. Those are two of the legal
mind altering drugs available besides the alcohol.
And they tend to use sugar which is a problem in itself for some.
Then those who become addicted to alcohol learn at an early age to hold
off the symptoms of early addiction and even middle stage addiction by
the use of other substances and think they have gotten away with
something.
Until the damage to their brains and body becomes overwhelming and they
start to present late stage chronic symptoms of addiction without having
presented most of the symptoms of early and middle stage addiction.
Then they also become very sick.
