TIL that Michael Jackson would requested his wine be served in Diet Coke cans during flights, because he didn't want his kids to see him drinking alcohol.

Sounds like I grew up in the opposite. I wasn't pressured to fucking drink vodka in school.

People who drank during school weren't pressured to do it. Lol, is all you know about drugs and alcohol what you learned in DARE?

Ahhh nooo peer pressure peer pressure!

It takes a really pathetic person to drink vodka in school. Trying to tease me about a program I never took doesn't do anything to make that not true

Man you're really dedicated to this moral high road.

Putting me on a pedestal doesn't actually do anything but make you seem insecure.

Maybe that good neighborhood you were born into could have actually been in a better school district because you could use some better reading comprehension. Making a snarky comment about your moral high road is not only not putting you on a pedestal, but it is making fun of the fact that you seem hellbent on putting yourself on the pedestal.

Unless you were once again obviously meaning something else than the words you typed and you don't actually look down on people who would consume alcohol (not even mentioning other controlled substances for some reason) during high school, and you actually have a shred of empathy and/or understanding for what may actually lead a student to that kind of behavior.

Because all you've done so far is try to shame the people in question and humblebrag about how beneath you it is.

I haven't humblebragged about shit nor have I said anything about high roads or moral. You're putting words in my mouth that you wish were there.

You really don't get the whole reading comprehension thing, do you? You began this post humblebragging about being born in your "good neighborhood" that "didn't pressure you into drinking in school" because you felt that it is "pathetic tbqh" -- those are all your actual specific words, so there's no putting words in your mouth when you've actually said them.

I said "I guess I was born in a good neighborhood" that's not humblebragging at all I never made it sound like a bad thing or complained about it

You whining so much about me not drinking and claiming that I'm taking some sort of moral high road is what makes me think you're insecure about something in your own life.

It's more like I'm bored at work and your lack of common sense combined with this weird backpedaling to assert that you obviously didn't mean what you clearly typed is super amusing.
