Wasn't it absinthe that Van Gogh was drinking before he cut his ear off? *headscratch* Contains wormwood, or something, which is hallucinogenic. I think it was legalised again or something when I was in my first year at Uni, so there were absinthe parties across campus - the smell put me off. :P

I drink a little, but I don't hugely like the taste of alcohol, and usually end up as a prop for my falling-over friends if we go out. :P That's about it, aside from caffeine.

I'm fairly ambiguous about most other drugs - if a person wants to do it, well, it's their life, they can find out about the risks as easy as I can and if they still want to use them, well... *shrugs* I just don't like the fallout from it - the theft and the violence feeding the trade. The only thing I particularly don't like is cigarettes and their like - and then only if someone lights up right next to me without asking if I mind, what they do in the privacy of their own home is up to them. "If I wanted your second-hand bad-smelling cancer-smoke in my face, I'd ask, thanks." Mind you, if they DO ask if I mind, I'm usually a mug and say "nah, go ahead". So... yeah.

And Frank is over-rated.
