Read this if you care about your friends <3
I turned 21 last Friday and I find it so interesting how our society completely praises the 21 year birthday. I have never gotten so many texts wishing me a happy birthday. Everyone was offering me drinks/ shots and I didn't pay a DIME (except when I wanted to buy pull tabs lmao). Drinking is highly encouraged and I think it's frightening that nobody seems to notice any bad habits involved??
We need to be aware of our buddies who are too drunk. PUKING SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED FUNNY... EVER... that's literally alcohol poisoning and so so bad for your body. the amount of times I've yelled at people for laughing at someone puking.. I most likely seem like a bitch to everyone but I don't fucking care. Puking shows poor self control and in my opinion shows a problem that should be addressed. If you're puking on a night out you very obviously either don't know how to read your body/ don't know your limit or you're self medicating!!!
We need to be aware of our buddies who drink TOO OFTEN. Even if you did just turn 21 you should not be buying bottles every week. Should not be drinking alone. This leads to alcoholism and causes your brain to literally SHRINK in size. We all have our drinking phases (if you don't that's great), but we need to be aware of how long these phases are or if there are any long breaks.
stay healthy friends !!
