This has been on my mind lately, in terms of drinking and any common behavior. How do I measure my own habits? Are the reflections based entirely on the mostly negative stigma held not just in north america where I live, but in the exact area that I live? I've gotta wonder about it. If I'm purposely going out of my way to have a bunch to drink precisely because I need an escape from the incessant dirge of brain function (whether or not it is intelligent brain function is beside the point
) as Glice mentioned, is that okay? Would I spend less time examining something so inconsequential if I lived in the UK?
I think the stigma here has to do with the general obsession people have with avoiding death.
ni'k does have some worthwhile questions, they can be posed casually and objectively.
