[QUOTE="ollie989898, post: 9018148, member: 54866"] I've met a fair number of alcoholics but I couldn't say if they were of weak character or not. It is true that there are a number of functional addicts out there in public life, but they somehow manage to make life or don't feel the need to enlist medical help for their addictions. There is much to be said for total abstinence from such vices but our society seems to be a lot more accepting or even encouraging of people trying what were possibly considered very marginal things in previous generations. Even TFF gives a glimpse of this- there have been posters here who reckoned recreational drugs should be legalised, for example. We need to evaluate these things in how they effect society as a whole. I do think, for example, that gambling should be banned or else restricted to the form it used to have, none of this online 24/7 nonsense. [/QUOTE]
