Binge

I was at the salon the other day. Man I can't get enough of that phrase. It's great with one O or two.

Anyway, while I was there I read, sorry I looked at the pictures in an article about binge drinking. Apparently the point of the article was that binge drinking is bad for your body and can bring about an early onset of dead. It was written by some smart, obviously up and coming, young doctor fresh out of school.

Are they actually suggesting that you stop binge drinking? Everything good I have in my life is because of binge drinking. I don't even want to think about what a dry gray heap of lint my life would be if not for binge drinking. All the best things that have happened to me are the ones I have absolutely no recollection of.

"Man you were dancing up a storm last night?"

"I was?"

"Ya, that flashlight bit you were doing."

"Oh ya, that."

Okay, so binge drinking is supposedly unhealthy? First of all, where's the proof? Some people who drank died? Ok, that's conclusive. Second of all, hello, isn't that the point? Since when was mortality not an admirable goal to strive for? If not for binge drinking by ourselves in a ditch we'd be stuck having to go to war with each other to end this bitter episode you call your life.

Is that really what you want? I'm sorry, call me a selfish chicken but I'll take binge drinking and world peace over a long dirty sober war anyday thank you very much.
