This idea has been in my mind for a long time, but a small interaction today reinforced that idea..
So what is drinking culture? in a way to me is people that constantly look forward to the weekends or the end of the day to start drinking and "get smashed", they do it as a habit and is something that they are very proud of for some reason.
I have SEVERAL reasons as to why I don't approve, for starters, alcohol is bad for the body, period. Also if you drink too much, you will have a hangover the next morning, it can put you in really bad situations (bar fights, DUI etc). Now don't get me wrong I was part of this culture around my 19 to 21 year old era, but that was it, I grew out of it and when I see people that are way past that age range, and still embrace drinking all the time, I find it a lack of love for yourself, your body, and mind.
Today I went to a medical marijuana dispensary the girl that helped me was this overweight and not attractive at all budtender, I strike up a conversation with her (because I'm the type of guy that talks to anyone) and she is telling me she is going to this restaurant after her shift to "get smashed" when she gets off, she then proceeds to ask me if I was going (translation= why don't we meet over there) I politely said "no I'm not going there" then she starts talking about how she gets kick out of that place all the time etc (approval seeking behavior) she is trying to appeal to me about how much fun she is, and at this point I'm thinking "this chick is completely out of touch with reality, she looks awful, and is doing some of the same stuff that caused her to look like that in the first place" I left the clinic and thought to myself, people that drink all the time for the most part suck!
I know this may ring a few bells for some of you, but that's my take on people that are obsessed with drinking.
