You Win

With my very first post I’d like to touch on a subject that is dear to all our hearts. That is the subject of drinking. It is part of our nature as college students to drink and to drink heavily. The antics that ensue are timeless classics.

We all, generally, enjoy drinking whether it’s someone’s birthday or if it’s just a Friday. At some point we have all sat around and had our high class discussions about how we are going to go get fucked up and how the night is going to be a shit show. Here enters the paradox of the college lifestyle.

The goal is to get “fucked up” and everyone that is out drinking is working towards that goal, striving and working to reach the finish line that is blurred vision and poor decisions. BUT the very first person to reach this goal has not won anything but is in fact made to feel like the loser.

We have all been there. You get drunk and you enjoy your night but you maybe drank a little faster and a little more than the rest. Then instead of enjoying the winners circle you are hearing your friends point out the fact that you are drunk.

“Hey buddy, you’re pretty wasted aren’t you?”

To which the typical response is, “I’m good… I mean I’m buzzed but not drunk. I’m not drunk!”

You are then the joke of the night and you didn’t win anything at all. You may not realize it because you’re too drunk but people are laughing about how ridiculous you are and glad they’re not at your level. You act like a fool and unintentionally are embarrassing yourself.

BUT then in the morning when the re-hashing begins; the drunk one is now the winner. The stories of drunk escapades are funny for all because they are in the past. Everyone laughs about who was drunk and whoever was the drunkest has the best stories.

To all of this I say to those who drink to be the winner you are probably a stupid person because you’re not winning at all. Know that you’re a stupid person but if that’s ok with you then please continue your lifestyle because you do provide entertainment.
