Nah, just brush your teeth really well afterwards. It's not so much the breath that bothers me about smoking, it's how even the most careful smoker smells like a smokestack afterwards. If your clothing is that overpowering, it's gross.
Drinking to excess, repeatedly, i.e., alcoholism, is bad. Drinking to run away from your problems is bad. Drinking to relax a little and enjoy yourself, ok...as long as you don't drive impaired. No one else should have to risk their lives on the road just because you can't or won't control yourself.
What are your thoughts on drinking?
