Anyway it amazes me how central alcohol is to peoples lives. At least in a college town like the one I'm in. I swear all some people talk about is what they did when they were drunk and how they're going to get their next stash of booze. I mean don't get me wrong some of those stories are fun but it starts to get weird when you realize all of a persons stories stem from how wasted they were and how they divulge into the same subtopics such as fighting, throwing up, or blacking out. Eventually it gets to the point where you start thinking along the lines of "this guy is a douche."

I keep on hearing that people in Europe do a better job of handling booze but part of me thinks that it's not that much better then it is here. Either way sometimes you find that life is one big hockey rink.

We had the granddaddy of all anti-alcohol backlashes already: Prohibition. That didn't work out too well.

I like the hockey rink analogy.

I was thinking of that when I typed that post and I agree that prohibition was a dumb idea. For a true alcohol backlash to work it would have to still be legal but less socially acceptable akin to the way cigarettes are looked at today. It's the type of thing where if you force people to do it they'll try and fight against it, however if they decide on their own then it'll be more effective then any law could be.

I'm glad though that the hockey rink analogy didn't go unnoticed which reminds me NHL draft on Friday. I would throw a bone to the NBA draft but that's pretty much over for the Wizards now.
