Finally, I'm fiercely supportive of "rights of citizens", even those whose activities are contrary to my religious and moral convictions.
100% agree with what you say. I do not see any post above would cause you to say it.

Again, back to the point of this thread.

Non drinker can be dumb or smart. True or False
Drinker can be dumb or smart. True or False

My thought is as stated before, the drinker has the edge on smart due to the expanded experiences in life, all other aspects like gray matter being equal.
