In moderation has eased itself into the lexicon of all polite conversation when your trying to get someone to stop doing a bad thing, but you don’t want to scare them with the prospect of totally stopping yet.
- Drinking… in moderation
- Smoking… in moderation
- Recreational Drugs… in moderation
Or when it comes from people in authority it just means “I’m not ready to have this fight, so I’ll just say in moderation as a catch all so you wont get mad at me”
Because I still wanted to hang out with them and people that don’t drink at all are usually boring and obnoxious.
Ugh Don’t you just hate it when my friends lose their vices and try to be better. Ugh they get so annoying and boring. Why do I even hang out with them. They keep trying to rub it in everyone’s faces. /s
It really does become a crutch though… which sucks since there comes a point where your muscles get weak. I say ditch those instruments and live as golden gods. But in moderation :)
