I love the way these threads start off on one subject and then wander about.It makes them more interesting For a while we got serious and nobody cared about my whinging about my tinnies,now we're lightening up again.
To get serious again there is one problem we haven't touched-Sexually Transmitted Diseases.There has been a big rise of STD in one particular age group-yes, the 16 to 24 group.And it has been seen as connected to the drink culture.
As Marjory says,the drink and drug problem may be partly youthfull rebellion against the older generations.We all did it-mine was girls my mother didn't approve of,rock and roll and riding motorbikes like a fool. So hopefully the young ones may grow out of the drink/drugs phase.
But they WON'T grow out of HIV and some of the other STD's, they'll have them for life.Even the cureable ones can leave after effects.And that IS sad
