Controversial opinion: sometimes getting drunk is way cool.
It’s way cool because alcohol has a magical power. For better or worse, it has the ability to transform our entire identity: our beliefs; our concept of right/wrong/appropriate/inappropriate; our feelings of self consciousness. And (definitely) our levels of coordination.
When we drink, all these things are altered from their normal state. And as the process of intoxication progresses, our drunk persona shimmies its way out from its lil' cave to run wild. And when it does? You fundamentally change as a person.
So. While you're at the bar this weekend - wine in hand - watching your friends make giggly fools of themselves on the dance floor, be extra judgmental. We implore you. Here are the five categories that every drunk persona falls into:
