Why do these people always intend to enforce the prohibition of substances that people willfully ingest?

only 5 drinks for a man?? so if a man has 5 drinks from 9pm-2am, that's considered binge drinking? WOW

@ddkk1000 weed makes you dumb....

[silentninja32]

this is probably gonna sound offensive but... FUCK YOU! its people's rights to drink as much as they want. if someone gets into a car accident because they dank too much,they'll go to jail or at the very least, pay the damages plus a fine. Its not as detrimental as to stop society and certainly never will be so banning it or establishing parameters to prevent it are not really necessary.Drinking is a freedom that the US has deemed important throughout its entire existence.Thats my take anyways
