]]> Comment on Alcohol or company - which is the most important? by Claire http://www.deckchairguru.com/blog/2008/06/08/alcohol-or-company-which-is-the-most-important/#comment-6820 Claire Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:50:29 +0000 http://www.deckchairguru.com/blog/2008/06/08/alocohol-or-company-which-is-the-most-important/#comment-6820 Yes! Yes! You are beyond redemption! It's old age comming to bite your bum! In the next few years you'll end up with grey hair and in a retirement village. I think of late, there's been a larger than normal media focus on alcohol, and it's not just with the 20-somethings of my generation. the government is focusing on it, a lot of health organisations are focusing on it, and sporting clubs really focus on it. It may be this media attention towards alcohol causing people to think that it's finally okay to drink to excess. Like any good reality TV program, any attention will do. It's also reflection on our society too. We believe it's okay to drink til we spew, and popular culture reflects this in so many ways. One only has to google Weird Al Yankovic's "The Beer Song" to realise this. Another point to debate is whether Aussies take responsible drinking seriously. Yes, at Universities and TAFEs, the campus nurses always hand out T-Shirts and promo gear with the safe drinking limits on it, but other than that, not a lot of education is actually availible to people, unless they want an RSA certificate. Personally, i consider it bad form to vomit from too much booze. My dignity is more important than being a sheep. Yes! Yes! You are beyond redemption! It’s old age comming to bite your bum! In the next few years you’ll end up with grey hair and in a retirement village.

I meant what I said, I made some great friends that year :) Thanks for the prod along, i think we've all come a ways since we first met and I certainly take pride in saying I know the woman who will write some of the best feminist literature of the next few decades ;) One day in the not-too distant future Julia, we will eat Chinese food, drink red wine and solve all the world's problems. And I can't wait! That was a year of learning for us all, definitely! I meant what I said, I made some great friends that year :)
