An Information Theoretic Approach to Partying
Moderate Drinking and Partying increases the number of possible outcomes (e.g., the set of places where you will find yourself in the morning) and evens out their probabilities, thus increasing the entropy.
However, excess drinking collapses the space of possible outcomes to the trivial one (you will find yourself in the local morgue) thus reducing the entropy to zero.
Therefore there must be the optimal amount of drinking which maximizes the entropy, i.e., makes your life most interesting.
Now, how would we go about establishing that optimal amount for each circumstance?
