I sometimes wonder if there is still a mindset passed on from the 20's and 30's prohibition era that alcohol is illegal and therefore cool/badass. Before that was it just a way of life or was it always like this? I constantly hear family members and other grown adults talk about it like its the greatest thing ever. All of their social events revolve around it and it's just so cool to talk about drinking and getting drunk. It really drives me mad. These aren't raging alcoholics either (at least most of them). Isn't there a lot more to life than alcohol? Why does everyone want me to drink with them so badly? I might honestly enjoy trying various craft beers and such if everyone's obsession with the stuff didn't annoy me so much. /rant
