I claim edge. I never really wanted to do any of that stuff before, but after living with a drunken mom since I was ten (so for five years now), I know first-hand what kind of negative effects drugs and alcohol have on your loved ones, and pretty much anyone around you.
After going to my mom's rehab (she's been four times I think?) and seeing all the druggies and alcoholics and hearing their stories, I made a promise to myself and my friends that I would never do any of that, ever. It's so unappealing. Not only that, but it's been proven that alcoholism runs through families, and I'm afraid that if I started, I might not have any self-control, like my mother. =/
