“I want to fight someone. I want to have sex. I want to drink more.” These are just a few thoughts that go through people’s heads when they are intoxicated.
Every person is a different drunk. Some people turn into a completely different person when they are drunk. You can be the nicest person in the universe and take a couple shots and turn into the Grinch and steal Christmas. You could be a pacifist and turn into the hulk and destroy everything in your path.
You can even be a genius rocket scientist and make the stupidest decisions in your life.
Most people come to college with a knowledge of alcohol and the limits they have.
However, when I got to Cabrini I found that people were still finding out what their limits were.
Smart decisions are never made when alcohol is involved, especially if you don’t have experience with drinking.
Everyone has their problems with drinking. My closest friends here are aggressive drunks and insist on wrestling every time they drink, resulting in someone getting hurt.
I won’t mention any names though, don’t worry, Kyle.
The question is, why do people drink if bad things often come out of it?
Is it because students need an escape? Maybe because of peer pressure?
When did drinking become the thing to do? It’s common knowledge that if you are going somewhere on the weekend you pregame and then resume drinking when you get there. Why can’t people have fun when they are sober?
There is a saying that drunk words are sober thoughts. Do people’s real personalities come out when they are drunk?
Once you get to the point where you completely lose your filter is when things are said that wouldn’t be said when sober.
Fights break out, relationships fall apart and feelings are hurt. All because students think it’s fun to dumb themselves down.
If you are planning on drinking, make sure you know what the consequences are. I’m not talking about hangovers either.
I’m talking about the decisions that are made. People get emotional and dramatic and overreact in situations that they usually wouldn’t resulting in an argument or altercation.
Expect unfortunate things to happen, because 99 percent of the time they do.
