On the subject of drinking and smoking....

Drinking and smoking are some of the worst habits a human being can have.  They are bad for your health, they are bad aesthetically, and they are bothersome to other people next to you. Do not do either of them.  At least try to avoid these two habits.  I do not see the smoking thing at all, but if you must drink for some reason (especially people socializing for work etc might find themselves in such a predicament) do it in moderation.  Always be aware of your surroundings and be in control of yourself.  Maintain your dignity at all times.  It is extremely difficult to control how alcohol affects one’s body here are a few guidelines; drink extremely slowly, always drink lots of water after each drink, never drink more than 3 drinks (absolute maximum), go out in the open air only when at least 30 minutes passed after the last drink, move around when you drink, and always be ready to say no more when you do not feel good even if you only had one drink. Respect your self all the time and do not put your self in a compromising situation.
