Not sure... my mom would suggest compulsive CD buying...but that's hardly a vice and it's tapered off.

Basically it's the produce of a relatively conservative (by US standards) upbringing coupled with a devoted/compliant Freddie who aimed to please, so I listened to the Do's and Dont's laid out by Mom and now that I think for myself: 1- I find it difficult to change things I've done for over 2 decades, regardless if there is no good reason behind it, and 2-when I do have a good reason behind it, it's no problem keeping some of the values that I think make sense or are healthy or what not. Not saying that "drinking vs not drinking" is a question of morals or values...it isn't to me, but I can see the advantages of not even getting started. I'm afraid it'll be like one of those things where once you get a taste, "it's over, buddy"... But, like I said, I am not judgemental about it at all. Obviously I wouldn't have many friends if I didn't hang out with drinkers. But you know, I know a few non drinkers. There are more than we think, I think..do you think?

We all think
