JK>SK>JK>Sonny, I don't know what mountain top you live on behind high
JK>SK>JK>walls with barbed wire enclosures that isolates you from
JK>SK>JK>reality.  The blunt truth is that a "pure" alcoholic is almost
JK>SK>JK>unknown today.  Most addicts are using at least two drugs
JK>SK>JK>besides alcohol and I am not limiting this to caffeine and
JK>SK>JK>nictotine.
JK>SK>Sorry, Mommy, but you are turning the point around again. YES,
JK>SK>people that use drugs do tend to use other drugs and alcohol. The
JK>SK>that point was MOST PEOPLE THAT DRINK ALCOHOL DO NOT USE OTHER
JK>SK>that DRUGS.
JK>That is a lie.  A very poor one, but nevertheless, a lie.  And if you
JK>had one whit of the knowledge that you think you do, you would
JK>understand why it is a lie.
To be a lie I would have had to have known some other truth and 
purposely substituted a falsehood for same. Since I didn't do this...it 
is not a lie.
I understand the issue far better than you, also.
JK>There are very, very few folks today who don't use other drugs along
JK>with alcohol.  They smoke, getting nicotene all over the place.  They
JK>also drink coffee which has caffeine in it. Those are two of the
JK>legal mind altering drugs available besides the alcohol.
JK>And they tend to use sugar which is a problem in itself for some.
I had inserted tobacco and caffeine into an earlier post...YOU 
disallowed them. So, I went with the tack of true intoxicates. Give me a 
break. O.K. people that drink alcohol use drugs...cigarettes, coffee, 
and aspirin...JESUS! Now would you like to speak to my point? That the 
majority of people that drink alcohol DO NOT use marijuana, cocaine, 
meth, heroin, etc. 
JK>Then those who become addicted to alcohol learn at an early age to
JK>hold off the symptoms of early addiction and even middle stage
JK>addiction by the use of other substances and think they have gotten
JK>away with something.
You are rambling again. 
JK>Until the damage to their brains and body becomes overwhelming and
JK>they start to present late stage chronic symptoms of addiction
JK>without having presented most of the symptoms of early and middle
JK>stage addiction.
I don't buy it. I'd dare say most alcoholics and drug addicts KNOW that 
they are addicted.
JK>Then they also become very sick.
From drinking alcohol? Why yes they do. It's very bad for people.
