I prefer not to hang out with anybody. I don't like being with people who are not like me, but I like being with people who are like me even less. That, more or less, eliminates everyone.
I suppose one of the points I was trying to make, merc, is that alcohol is quite often not seen to be as dangerous as it should be because it's legal and readily available.

Maybe it's the kind of thing you only realise you shouldn't have done after you've done it.
