Ok! nonpareil,

Ok now admit it, you are addicted to the lovely ladies, understandable with the standards set by the Ladies,
Out with it, is it Lucy C or dare I mention her Royal Highin Ass, Rachel. D

Yes indeed
I like Tom Sand am addicted to the lovely Rachel (and Lucy C. ).
Unfortunately my feelings are unrequited.

The great contradiction in these debates is that society has decided one drug which causes untold physical and mental damage is legal while others that tend to only harm an individual is illegal. Most of the damage done by "drug addicts" is to themselves and then collateral damage to society as they try to feed their habit, however because we have chosen to permit alcohol the damage is rarely spoken of, and tends to be of a more widespread nature. I am not advocating that we ban alcohol, merely that we have a mature look at the cost and affect alcohol has on our society. I remember a frightening statistic that alcohol is the largest cause of admissions to the irish health service and causes several thousand deaths a year. We have road safety campaigns when 300 plus people are killed annually yet nothing on the same scale about alcohol. I personally believe that regulation and legalisation is the answer, then business gets involved the control can be tighter, and in the case of "illegal" drugs the gangland element would not exist therefore benefitting society.

What sells Newspapers! "Bad News" At the Moment it's Drug Crimes and Related Deaths Due to Overdoses, Car Crashes and Related Injuries and Death and now we have twisted Stories About Sex Work and in particular Escorts.
You are correct in highlighting Lack of Warnings about the Negative Side Effects of Alcohol on some individuals. In comparison to Drug Misuse and Car Mishaps, Funding Priority is Kept Low by Government and Drinks Industry . Many people are asking Why! Hah, Pass a good many of these same People a free pint or bottle of Brandy, Whiskey, Bottle of Wine and they will give plenty B/S reasons. The majority of Ireland's Population love Booze More than they love Ireland, Still.
