Will you miss the agonizing day after headaches after getting plastered, or not being able to do cool stuff (like go to the zoo, see a play, the planetarium, etc.) because you're so hung over you couldn't get out of bed? I'm not sure if I ever was an alcoholic, but I was once a drunk. The worse of my depraved behavior is many years behind me, but I'm able to responsibly enjoy a few beers once in a while (it's particularly enjoyable when I go see a baseball or basketball game). But drinking too much is simply a symptom of anxiety or maybe even mild depression (or in many cases anyway). It's terrible for your dating life (and correspondingly your sex life). No matter what anyone says, you're always better off talking to women when sober (or no more than a beer or two deep).

Could you imagine someone bursting out in tongues in a Catholic mass (I'm cracking up just thinking about it). My family background is a Catholic protestant mix (and the protestant is mainstream Presbyterian/Episcopalian sort of stuff), so I've been to a mass or two in my life (picture it, right when the alter boy rings the bells, someone bursts out in the middle of the church in a frenzy of gibberish flopping around like a fish out of water .... I think everyone would think they're having a seizure).
When I think of people still doing stuff like speaking in tongues in the United States in 2010, it's one of those wtf things
