When my friends tell me about parties and stuf i decline. I hate to see them drinking and smoking their life away. For what!? A temporary good feeling!? Its all stupid!
Stupid decisions don't necessarily mean the person making them is stupid. We all do stupid things.
I kind of agree with you. I don't feel that my friends (who do smoke and drink) are throwing their lives away per se, but I just sometimes don't understand the concept of getting hammered, or smoking for that matter. I'm just glad my friends don't overdo it and that they are healthy!
You don't have to smoke or drink to enjoy a party. Maybe some of your friends do, and that's their call. Don't judge them for it.
drinking on occasions is good but doing it all the time in conjunction with smoking is bad. truth is, they are only spending there money and time harming themselves.
It doesn't matter if they're smoking and drinking; they're just having fun. What does matter is what they do when they're not smoking or drinking. If they're otherwise lazy and don't do anything else than it's a problem, and if they're never not drinking or smoking than it's even more of a problem.
ikr drunk people are as annoying af when you aren't drinking lol.
But I don't think you can say people are stupid because they smoke and drink. Maybe it's just a sign of immaturity on their part, and once they've done it for a few years, they'll realize how futile it is.
That's the way it was for me, I gave up drinking because I just got tired of it. It wasn't fun anymore. I hated the hangovers, it's too expensive, too much risk of a DUI, and even chasing tail loses its appeal when it's just some bar skank you'll never see again. Also after a night at the bars I would blow my nose and the snot would be black from all the secondhand smoke, that's pretty nasty!
As far as weed goes, I never was into that. But my brother was and his experience was pretty much the same as mine with alcohol. After a while he just got tired with the whole scene, didn't want to risk getting arrested, etc.
So, maybe just let your friends make their own mistakes, they'll figure it out eventually?
I think partying is good in moderation. However, one problem is, all of the sudden people find it hard to have fun or hang out with friends unless they are drinking or getting stoned. Or, someone suddenly finds them self drinking or smoking alone. Also, not good. And there are the people that over do it big time, and don't know when to stop, and drive home drunk and kill their friends or others and or self. I have a friend in prison for killing two people while driving drunk. That, is STUPID. The fact is that these things can easily lead to heavier drugs. I know too many people that started of smoking cigarettes...then drinking a little, then a lot, then weed, then all of the time, then get arrested for possession, then find that METH is cheaper and more fun, then jail for a few months for stealing, then out again doing more METH, then heroin, and glue, and more jail, and family gives up on them, then pills and everything else, and now a few of my old friends are in prison. This is no joke, it is not healthy, it is not having fun, it is foolish, stupid and it is a waste of life. I miss my friends, and wish they listened to me, when I told them they were being reckless. I did have fun with those same friends, but now I can't even be bored with them. I say tell your friends that drinking is for adults for a reason, and there are laws for a reason, we are all young dumb and full of... oh wait...Did I mention how many people I know that got knocked up or did the knocking during a night having having fun? To many risks, and no reward except..... it ain't with it. Be strong, and if you miss hanging out with your friends now, just wait until they end up in prison. True story.
yeah but thats there choice they made so
nothing you can do but tell them what you
think about it
If drinking and smoking makes someone stupid then there was a time I was very stupid (between 17-20). Life was great when I was stupid and I had good memories of my stupidities. There were time when I got so stupid that I could hardly reach home alone. Being stupid was so fun. I finished my college years brilliantly despite being stupid!!
