I concur. Upstate asked if you were against alcohol due to an abusive father. He wasn't bullying, or picking on, or ridiculing anyone.

I just find it very odd the way this topic has made you flip out the way it has. I suppose upstate found it that way as well and so was trying to ascertain the reason for it.

… when I was a kid my grandma used to get drunk on mogan david wine and burn me with a curlin iron why pappa skinned opalusa catfish with a pair of sears and robuck channel lock pliers

No wonder you is the way you is.

You are a grown woman. He did not ask if my father abused me when he had been drinking. He asked "Alchy daddy beat you up?" Which my father never did and he never drank.

If you think that question was respectful in it's wording and of genuine concern for anything that may have been tragic or scarring in my young life, you really are as stupid as I think you are.

You are taking sides because you don't like what I stated about alcohol. I didn't say don't drink. I didn't say you are an alcoholic if you do. I didn't say you were stupid if you drink. I simply stated alcohol is one to the worst things you can put in your body. And because of that you got your panties in a wad and started talking about how the perils of the internet and diet soda are much worse than alcohol.

Jeez louise!! No reply needed as it is obvious it will not be genuine or honest.

You are #3 on ignore now.

…. When I was a kid … my dad would get drunk on wild turkey and beat me with a lynyrd skynyrd album cover

Did he not appreciate the value of a lynyrd skynyrd album?

…. Then he’d hit me in the head with a Tom t hall 8 track

Now I know how 330 makes you feel, Savell.

What was funny about the alcohol thread is that it was a underage kid asking about drinking and the most common response was drink up. lol

Oh so you were one of them rich kids that had pliers huh?

I never got whipped in my life till I arrived here
