Answer by Billy D

Answer by obie
i would say now these days you should be careful where ever you live. just be aware of your surroundings,carry some mace or some type of personal protection. walk with a friend if possible. tell people of your walking route and when to expect you. just use common sense and play it safe. good luck in your new place.

Are water signs more prone to drug and alcohol abuse?

Question by Scorpgrl78: Are water signs more prone to drug and alcohol abuse?
Do you think that people with planets in water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are more prone to abuse drugs and alcohol? It seems that way to me. Why do you think this might be the case?

Best answer:

Answer by buggywuggy33
Firstly, I’m a pisces and I have not had that problem nor do I expect to, but my friend, also a pisces, does have a cigarette addiction and drugs would not surprise me. I don’t think it has anything to do with signs though because other than the fact that people obviously make a living psyching people out with horoscopes and false predictions I can’t find anything important about my sign, other than the fact that I was born during that sign

Answer by Alyssa
Water signs are prone to deep emotional problems, which in turn often manifests as substance abuse.
