Why do they drink so much?

Yeah, most of the time it feels like an exceptional important thing that you did, like a great achievement, even though it is something anyone can do. The courage that it gives and the feeling of power are nothing but illusions though. So yeah, it shouldn't be something to brag about, but to be ashamed of. Or simply just accept as some weird experience in your life. Sometimes I drink a little too much at parties, but not that much that I lose control totally and not remembering what I did that night. I just get a little high-spirited and dance more than usual (even though I'm not a good dancer :D). And it's not something I brag about! When I remember about such experiences, I just joke about them, giving them the label of stupid things I've done in my life. But I don't regret them, after all life should have many experiences, or it wouldn't be life.

Braggin is the way in college, yeah its boring old and stupid to brag about how much you drink. The same goes in my college so nothing new i guess ;)
