Remembering back to when I was 14 growing up in South Florida. My best friend BG and I got busted smoking red bud by his father Kort. Kort and Ms. Kort were quite the boozers and so Kort sat me and BG down at the bar and told as how bad it was smoking pot and offered up that anytime we had the ''urge'' to smoke that we were welcome to drink from his bar instead. Add one case of Jack Daniels to Mr. Gs monthly booze order. Looking back smoking bud mellowed us both enough to survive this infusion of free booze. Fifty years later and IMHO smoking a joint of good weed will tend to limit the amount of booze one will consume on any given evening. Recklessness is also reduced.
