Comment on Sit down with your co-workers for a beer and everybody smiles. They even make tv shows about it. But sit down with your co-workers for a little opium and everybody gets their panties in a twist.

  There’s a certain inherent nastiness to alchohol. A definite taint that shouts “I am poison” or “this stuff is good for cleaning engine parts”.

  Opium, not so much. More of a warm floral hug.

    But consuming beer is within the parameters of the law inexplicably (in most jurisdictions, as allowed by age).
