At what lengths will you go for partying?

[thorynblade]

Something that I have never quite been able to understand with my group of friends is that they are willing to drive miles and hours just to have a place to party. I have never been the one to have such urges to drink. I never had that feeling where, "Man I really need something hard to drink." Uhh I had three family members die on me in less than two months and not once did I turn towards alcohol or travel over an hour to have a place to drink under the guise of wanting to visit my friends. If i'm going to see my friends halfway across the state i'd at least like to remember the experience as well as them remember it. I've also been told well you don't have to deal with the work load that I have to. Bullshit. I was working 60 hours a week and attending college and not once did I ever have the urge to drink. I sat through several funerals in less than two months and I didn't have to turn to alcohol. All the while attending school in which my teachers didn't extend deadlines for essays or anything else and I still managed to get through it. I guess I just don't understand that mindframe never will either. I've watched what happens to people when they turn to alcohol when they are having a bad day. I've watched my ex fall into deep depression on numerous occasions. I watched my grandfather drink himself to death. I watched my aunt drink herself into insanty. If people are going to drink, do it for fun and be safe about it. But don't do it because your having a rough day. That's the stupidest thing you can do.God forbid you go through a bad period and everytime you have a bad day you resort to alcohol. You're going to walk the path of an alcoholic. Oh and be smart about drinking for fun. You don't always need it to have fun.

Honestly just a temporary filler till story. Plus something that again has started to annoy me.
