1. As long as you avoid drinking while driving or alcohol fueled violence, Smoking hands down

[bearsfootball516]

2. Probably smoking.

Drinking, in moderation, really isn’t that bad for you. Smoking on the other hand, is always bad.

11. Some studies say that light drinking has health benefits

No amount of smoking is good for you.

3. I drink, but I don't smoke...

so smoking...

[unblock]

4. It really depends on what you're smoking and drinking.

Smoking meats and drinking water usually is not particularly dangerous.

5. On the other hand

Smoking meth and drinking bath salts is less than ideal.

7. True, but probably better than drinking meth and smoking bath salts...

10. Some years ago.

A panhandler stopped me on the street asking for money.

I protested he would just blow it on booze. He assured me he doesn't drink.

I then said he would just buy smokes. He assured me he doesn't smoke.

I then offered him $100 if he would come with me to meet my wife. He was suspicious and asked why. I told him I wanted to my wife to see what becomes of men who don't drink or smoke.

13. And that man was ...

Adam Ant.

And now you know the rest of the story.

14. He was quite sexy.

I forgot about him for a while. Thanks for the reminder!

15. Smoking.

With alcohol, there is a safe, moderate level of consumption. There is no safe, moderate level with smoking. Even one cigarette can be bad for you.

However, nicotine and alcohol are still the deadliest drugs known to man. They are the statistical champions by hundreds of thousands of deaths.

I say this just after posting a drinking thread...

16. Drinking of you're alcoholic;

otherwise, smoking.
