I've had the time to ponder for a while today, the entire university infrastructure that is excessive drinking. And, I've come to several conclusions. First, no level of drunkenness is an excuse for someone's actions. You are responsible for what you do, even when shitfaced. I will take care of you if you're really drunk and need it, and by need I mean so out of it you could hurt yourself or someone else. Second, I don't think it will ever be particularly "cool" to binge drink. Sure, if it makes you feel good to chug till you vomit, go ahead. But I don't respect you for it. And third, life is just more interesting when you remember most of it. It's not funny when you can't remember where you were or who that guy is and why he knows your name. While university is supposed to be full of smart people I have to admit that the sheer level of drinking makes a lot of people really unimpressive. I'm not saying that drinking is bad, but be a fucking adult and accept your actions and their consequences.
That is my rant. I'm done now.
