A DRINKING !!! (BY YLHGAHOMM)
% Drinking, as in taking in water, is#an essential life function which we need to use all our life to stay%alive. However, drinking in the sense$of drinking alcoholic beverages is a%non-essential action, but it is great!fun. Drinking swhould probably be
kept as a social function or an escape from depression (although$alcohol its self is a depressant) In$my opinion, drinking for the sake of%it is stoopid.

You can$talk absolute philosophical bullshit$for hours, yet not remember anything%you said the next morning. Stage four$is sleep, Stage five is vomiting and$coughing up cigarette ends (that you$unwittedly drank out the bottom of a%half full lager can) You get violent,#fall over and cut yourself.
