I'm 21, and I've never been around intoxicated people.
I've never been anywhere there was enough booze for people to get drunk, and I only know one person who smokes weed, and he's always sober when I see him.
I am kinda iffy about intoxicants in general. There are two main reasons.
One is that I have a hard enough time keeping a lid on my behavior under normal circumstances; it's mostly paranoia about violent response that keeps me from saying something I'd regret. I'd rather not lose that fear of retaliation.
The other is that I don't really get why they exist. I don't understand why we have these things, when all they do is slowly kill us and impair our mental faculties. I am aware of how bizarrely logical that is for me.
