So as college lady (of legal age) who attends the number one party school in the nation (GO GATORS!)...lets just say I know my way around a liquor store...bar...keg...hell I could prolly brew some damn moonshine if I tried. Epic drunkenness is no stranger to me...seriously, safely hidden away somewhere are some apparently really lol-worthy videos of me crying with my head in the toilet. But besides that very hazy night that included me sleeping on my bathroom floor...I have a pretty clean record of not doing anything really dumb while intoxicated. But its coming to my attention that maybe alcohol doesn't make us do dumb sh*t...perhaps alcohol is just the excuse we use to do the really dumb sh*t that we wouldn't normally do while sober. Okay hear me out. Yes...I am well aware that alcohol does have some physical/mental affects on you...tripping over the curb is not something I normally do while sober (ok thts a lie but u get my point).But can being drunk REALLY make you cheat on your bf/gf, hook up with your TA, or slap that b*tch in the face for spilling your blue long island? I tend to lean towards the answer of no. Maybe we are more likely to do these things because we can hide behind the excuse of "dude I was sooo trashed last night." I can honestly say that I have used alcohol as an excuse to do things like text someone I shouldn't be texting, make out with randos, dance on numerous stripper poles...and even give a slightly inappropriate lap dance. But in the light of day I know that I didn't do these things BECAUSE I was drinking. I've seen many a girl have one drink and I know that hoe is not drunk...yet she is sketchily making out with a guy in the corner. We can't judge her right? She's drunk. Your best friend calls you a whore...can't stay mad in the morning...she was wasted right? That guy grabs your ass in the club...just let it go girl...that dude is schwasted! But when do we stop blamin' what we sippin' and start taking responsibility for our "drunken" actions? Yea...its like an unsolvable riddle. I'm sure at some point of drinking you do just get really f*cked up and make bad decisions...but I haven't been there. When I drink I can reason, weigh the pros and cons of a situation...and if I do some dumb sh*t I know its my fault...and chances are I wanted to do it. The "I was drunk" excuse is weak and overused and frankly I'm tired of hearing it. So man up, grow some balls...and stop blaming it on the A-aaa-aalcohol! (I hate u Jamie for that song btw)
