I work in an office near boat quay- a place that is filled with night life. Going to work on a saturday morning, i always see a group of drunk people outside a club at around 8 am refusing to go home to my astonishment. They are mostly out of control and have no sense of what is happening around them. Seeing people vomitting is not what i would like my eyes to see first thing on a saturday morning. Why do people drink till they are out of control? It is really ironic, that a guy who is already vomitting, has a beer can in his hand and still continue to drink. Why does this happen? Is it because of peer pressure OR conforming to the environment that they are in?
I have friends who drink just because they are in a club. They are conforming to the clubbing environment thinking that it is a place that you should drink if not you will be frowned upon. Friends forcing one another to drink also leads to them not being able to hold their liquor thus making a fool out of themselves.
Is it ever possible for one to drink and not go overboard. Alcohol tends to make one lose control if over consumed: I’m sure everyone knows this yet they still go overboard! I’m not saying that drinking is wrong, rather being drunk and losing control is wrong. So please, don’t succumb to peer pressure and conformity because if you do, u end up being laughed at for the nonsensical stuff you do when not in control.
