Which out of these 2 would you choose ?

normally_crazy · 2nd October 2005, 17:02

Both are considered as vices (not my opinion ) hehe. So given a choice - which would you take along with you and which would you drop by the wayside in your journey of life ?

I know its a tough decision - but still ..

Shall we ?

Looks like all your office work is over and you have nothing to do...

I won't take any of this N_C. As you know...

Steeroid · 2nd October 2005, 17:22

I wont vote since I dont consider drinking to be a vice.

DCEite · 2nd October 2005, 17:25

Even cannot vote for anything here... no smoking, no drinking, no non-veg for me... thats because i follow the rules of Ashtang Yog:
"yam-niyam-aasan-pranayam-pratayahar-dhyan-dharna-samadhi"

Steeroid · 2nd October 2005, 17:26

Why bring non-veg into it? Is it a 3-way poll?

carfreak · 2nd October 2005, 18:14

i would take drinking though i dont advice both(i am a doctor after all!!)smoking doesnt at all benefit anyone.there are reports to suggest that small quantities of alcohol are good for the heart but it is still highly controversial.as far as i am concerned,i think social drinking is alright(which is what i do!!)

X-Machine · 2nd October 2005, 20:09

Well,thats a freak question NC.I would not like to quit either.
But if i have to make a choice,it would be smoking.I would like to continue drinking.

You missed two more options. 'Want to die as early as possible' and 'Not applicable to me'. I choose 4th options
:-)

revtech · 3rd October 2005, 10:25

i dont smoke and barely drink so if i had to i would give up both but my pick would be drinking.an occasional one is what i need.

I have never smoked and never will.
I drink alcohol for the pleasure, not to "gam bhulane ke liiye" etc but to enjoy a bit.
Neither am I addicted to it nor do I drink regularly, but I pick drinking here..

btw like Steeroid, I do not consider the drinking (that I do atleast) as a vice.

AvinashKeezh · 3rd October 2005, 12:57

hey NC, good topic for a good discussion!!!
well, have been a bad drinker, and have almost stopped drinking once i started earning!! couldn't afford it

...

To do that in its fullest sense, you have to experience everything and give up what you cant gel with/dont like. Even our ancient texts dont recommend renunciation and abstinance throughout your life - you cant appreciate light if you havent experienced what darkness is (I'm NOT insinuating that drinking/smoking = darkness - those of you who are offended please read vice-versa).
