    Oh christ on a triscuit…all too true.

    What I fail to understand about these shooters, well, there’s lot to not understand…but in my day when one experienced periods of existential angst (“I can’t take this meaningless existence anymore…”) you found a dark, decrepit, solemn bar and drank yourself into oblivion. You’re telling me , alcohol is too fucking good for these kids?

    Another good reason to lower the drinking age.
