Drinking
Yesterday I sent my friend to the hospital; he had to be treated for alcohol poisoning.
These incidents seem to be so common amongst college kids. Why? I've no moral authority to argue about this really, but still, sometimes I wonder why we drink so much. Social pressures? A desire to escape from unhappiness and problems? A wish to forget about conventions, others' opinions, and limits? A wish to lose ourselves?
But that happiness or carefreeness is often only fleeting. In the end we're just left with confused collages of blurry images, and that bittersweet aftertaste.
