Benoit goes to the school prom

[Lord Khyron]

According to the DSM-IV.. Alcoholism is a disease.

Even if you drink in moderation, you are destined to abuse it and drink more.

People lack that control, Once your foot is in the door, it's easier to do more.

Nothing good comes from Alcoholism. It leads to abuse.

In Benoit's case.. His dad would claim he's a "MODERATE"
drinker, but look at the hell he puts his kids through.

You consider that a good affect? How sad.

You're seeing something that is not there. Again.

Hm, I think not. It's a persistent trait that I've noticed ever since I met you.

Not at all, you just misunderstand me.

Really? Because this says otherwise...

But I'm tired of alcohol, and people's views of it, thinking it is cool to be drunk, and being mature.

Yes, I really said that, didn't I? Moderation would implynot getting drunk. You get it now? No, I don't advocate getting drunk, or any consumation of large amounts of alcohol.
And I'm sorry that your father drinks, which certainly explains your stance on drinking.

You consider that a good affect? How sad.

Yes, of course... getting drunk and abusing your kid is always a good affect, because I love that type of thing. Hey Khyron... having trouble reading?

However, if Mono claims that alcohol will indeed damage you in any quantity, then I have no choice but to assume that he's in the right. After all, he's the scientist, whereas I am not. So, Benoit, you may very well be correct.

Its stupid to attemtpt to intervene in drinking and such, leave people alone w/ their habits. I dont care if is bad for someones health, if they decide to do it you should keep to yourself and stop being a whiney little nerd that cant do anything his/herself and tells other that they shouldt do it.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. I was talking in general there, about the teenagers who usually go to a lot of parties, and get drunk.

According to the DSM-IV.. Alcoholism is a disease.

Alcoholism is not a disease; like gambling, it's a compulsive disorder -- major difference there.

[Benoit]

Khyron has followed psychology classes. I think he has the edge in credibility when he states something is written as such in the DSM-IV.

So now compulsive behaviour is regarded as a "disease"? Lmao.

EDIT: I was actually criticising the credibility of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) current edition's preference on referring various forms of OCDs (Obsessive Compulsive Disorders) as diseases.

In that case, I would agree with you. Some people think it's cool to make asses of themselves...
