I find "Yes, To be cool" to be very baised. Same with "No that's stupid" and "Yes to make the pain go away b/c my life sucks"
There is more to social drinking than "to be cool" or "it makes the pain go away."
There is more to staying sober than "that's stupid"
Speaking of stupid, Polls should be unbiased. Yes, No, and Maybe would be FINE. Then you could be like "Tell why after you vote."
I just recently had my 21st birthday, And I am now legally able to drink. Thing being, everything "good" about getting high/drunk turn me off. Ive far too many issues that could rear their ugly heads turning a good trip bad.
This does not mean however, that I haven't made my decision uninformed. Not including campaigns in schools designed to demoralize and discourage recreational sex, drug use, and drinking. I went to lengths to relate myself to people who did do this, be they addicted or not.
I say fix the poll and do some real research... and be sure to know yourself enough before dealing anything that effects your mind, It will do you wonders to be well informed.

Drinking and doing drugs are majorly different things.
Disagreed. Alcohol is a drug, just like marijuana, heroin, crack, or caffeine. That being said, there are certainly varied degrees to the harmfulness of drugs. Grouping them all together in terms of harm is like compairing The Bible to Mein Kampf; After all, they're both books. To answer the question at hand, I drank fairly heavily between the ages of 18 and 23, but left it behind after I lost interest in the social scene associated with it.

I voted "No, that's stupid" but I don't like the "that's stupid" part of it.
I don't care if other people drink, or do drugs, and I won't think any of less of them unless they really have a problem. I don't think it's stupid.
It's just not for me.
I'd like to get through all of college without drinking at all, just for the shock value of being able to say that. It'll be hard, but I think it'd be hilarious if I can manage that. It's the perfect embodiment of how I do insane things just for humor.
As for drugs like weed and pills and whatever else the kiddies are into nowadays, I just don't really think that's all that worth doing in the first place. Like I said, I don't care if people do it, but I don't respect them as much as somebody who doesn't need them. But I don't think LESS of them. They can earn back whatever respect they lose from me, anyway.
Cigarettes are just plain retarded and I don't get why anyone would even bother. Though, once again, I really don't care, I have no sense of smell so I could give two #####s. Even if I'm getting secondhand smoke, I can't really tell, anyway.
Anyway, here's a little bit of widsom from my life: I started refusing the pills my parents and therapists tried to give me because if I started to act better and feel happier while on them, I wouldn't get the credit. The pills get the credit. I want to be able to act behaved and feel happier on my own. It's all the more satisfying when you finally achieve happiness when you didn't need any help to do so.

It's actually really good. Had some great lines.
And yeah, I kind of agree with what Mike said, except it really does depend.
Like, sometimes I see people standing around campus smoking, and that doesn't look cool. They usually just look like normal people with a bad habit.
But, other times, it looks cool. Kind of like looking at a really badass picture. Like, tonight, at some party I was at, some kids were playing euchre and this one Asian guy was holding his cigarette and his cards in the same hand, and it was dark out and the light on the porch caught him just right and it looked like something out of a badass movie.
So, yeah.
Also, to be relevant: three weeks into college and I still haven't drank. Good for me!

I agree with smoking looking cool.
I can agree to that statement.
Not when Jake does it...
