Bets on who's going to ruin "Bored and Sober..."

I'm already resisting the urge to storm in there and taunt the holier-than-thou attitude that I see burgeoning. If it gets any worse, I might have to. Though I won't be "plastered".

I just hated those kids who would huff and sneer at those of us who were a little messed up. There are 50-60 years after college of huffing and sneering to do. Don't blow it when you're young by being a prude. At least many of them just closed their doors and kept to themselves. It was the few that were jerks about it that turn the world off.

Missing social opportunities, that's what it is. No one has to get ripping drunk. But people who look down their noses at people who drink should be boiled in their own pudding and buried with a stake of holly in their hearts.

Nice job of getting some holiday spirit in there, ckeaton.

Look, both my roommates have been drinkers and it didn't prevent us from being friends. Most of the people I know drink. But excuse me if I get a little bitter due to having the toilet regularly clogged by idiots who don't learn (or don't care about) their limits after months in school. The rest of us have to live there, too.

Ooh, okay. That's why there were objections to the "bored" part of "bored and sober." Myself, I think I'd be bored even if I got drunk, because really, how entertaining can it be to get drunk at the exact same parties every single weekend?

I'm actually not that bored- there are a few other things to do on campus, and taking 5 classes while holding down a job is enough to occupy most of my time. I guess I don't see the appeal of getting pissed and having to be dragged back to the room every weekend.

Ah yes, the most extreme of cases. If one cannot trust themselves to remain in control, then one must not put themself in a position to lose it. This is why I'm staying away from the firewater for an indeterminant amount of time.

I'm one of the chatty types. But being 6'4 has helped me in the past. As long as the term "Getting Drunk" is reserved for the extreme cases. Many of the straightedgers use the term getting drunk to refer to everyone that drinks, even in moderation. THAT really pisses me off.

*crashes post* Can't we all just get along? (or am I slightly unwelcome here? )
