Everything is bad without measure. EVERTHING
You can have even a WATER OVERDOSE. The tricky part is that some stuff is worse at bigger quantities.
Examples:
-Water is needed for life, so you can have a lot.
-Alcohol can produce several health diseases... Only in excess. Without excess, it's only a bit of fun, and a way to have your kidneys exercised. Making it a habit is the worst thing you could do. And by habit I mean, drink for the heck of it. Don't feel like drinking? then don't
-Small and very controlled ammounts of particular poisons can make you immune against them. Even our hair stores arsenic, wich can be deadly.
-There's a poison that can kill a horse with a dose of 9 mg in blood. And the name's... nicotine.
Most of the deadliest stuff is deadly simply because the body can't take it out, and as long as it keeps staying it... You'd end up with an "overdose". Alcohol is filtered... Nicotine isn't, for example.
That's quite normal here (Well, depends on the people. I myself prefer water at dinner). Our drinking age is quite low, actually. Also, a bit of wine everyday is actually great for your health.

This is true. When I was living in Spain(about 4 years), I used to stay at my mom's friend house until we got our own home, and everyday at dinner, there would be a bottle of Red wine on the table, they drink about 1-2 glasses a day.
Alloy can probably support this statement since he lives in the area I used to live.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
