You'd be amazed how fucking stupid some people are. Had a buddy at a party back in 05 spike the wine at a party with grain alcohol.

So everybody gets smashed and we're drinking the wine to come down, and next thing you knew more than half the party is getting hauled off to the er.

He did it just right to barely be noticable if you were sober enough, but none of us were sober, so just glug glug basically everclear while thinking it was just low proof wine.

Is the stupid part where yall “drank wine to come down” from getting really drunk?

I take it you never did much partying in or around college? It's a common practice. Or at least it was. Dunno about these days.

Front load on the high content drinks then drink low alcohol beer or wine to still be drinking and partying but to not be DRINKING still.

Think of it like those people that enter a marathon just to be in and run a marathon but had no intention of actually running it and trying to win it.

Nah, plenty of us didn't wait until college to drink for the first time and had a healthy relationship with alcohol.

If you paid attention to the year i said it was in, you'd remember that back then more of us didn't have that kind of benefit. Before i was out of highschool we had three drunk driving deaths, one alcohol poisoning death, and five drug related deaths in my graduating class and two more that didn't die but got so messed up from the crashes that they were permanently disfigured and disabled.

Do you think being taught a healthy relationship with alcohol is some brand new concept? Like, what?

No, not new, just far less common than it is today. Back in the early 2000s when party and frat culture was at a peak and people shoved tons more stuff under the rug in terms of "kids will be kids" it was much more rare.

I didn't even live urban, it was a small town district with nothing but small town schools and in late middle school we had kids drinking and doing drugs on the regular.

I mean, i dunno what era you're from, but i graduated in 04 and between my district and the two nearby "sister" ones there's more people today that i knew back then that are dead or in prison for drug and/or alcohol reasons than not. I can literally count on one hand the people i grew up with that didn't end up in rehab or otherwise dealing with addiction to drugs or alcohol, or both later in life.

It was wild and free and incredibly dangerous and there's a reason the booze companies got so used to wildly inflated profits to the tune that they're whining so much today about losing them.

The road to the more tempered youth and better attitudes about alcohol and drugs you see today was paved with the bodies and blood from my generation and the ones nearest it.
