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.

I think you can take “coworkers” out of this shower thought. Beer = okay. Opium = not okay.

There’s a certain inherent nastiness to alcohol. 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.

So this is just about you really liking opium rather than anything to do with work colleagues

I’m pointing out an incongruity between popular opinion and objective fact.

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