They say that 60% of Marines are binge drinkers, which in essence makes us worse than underage frat members. I try not to be myself, but it does happen to the best of us and I have had my runin's with alchohol a couple of times. I try to keep a couple of rules though. 1. No drinking during the week (Can't really say that I have adhered to this since I got back from Iraq. 2. No drinking alone (I'm pretty sure that since we drink together we drink more. 3. Stay away from hard booze (This one is pretty easy to follow. There is nothing better than coming home when it's blazing hot outside and cracking open a Yuengling.)
Anyways, what I'm try to say is that my friends are drunks. Not really alchoholics, well maybe some, but the vast majority just drink a lot. More than I ever really want to put down. The most I have had since I have gotten back is a bottle of wine.. oh wait there was that handle of vodka the day I got back. Well, I'm getting off subject here but what I really wanted to write this blog about was about how we drink a lot. Tonight I've had nothing really, just a glass of wine and a beer; nothing crazy right? Well the guys downstairs have had a case of beer, each. They are yelling and hollering and trying to pick fights with each other, which is pretty much what goes on when were sober except were not as loud. Anyways, to get back on topic again, one of these dudes came up to our deck and proceeded to yell at his friends down three stories below to pay attention to him. I was trying to watch The Golden Compass, a movie about Lord of the RIings in Harry Potterville, with my friend and this new addition really didn't make the movie any better.
Well the dude proceeds to yell from the 3rd floor "Adddddddaaaaaaaaammmm!!" "Hey ADAM!" "Hey yo dude I'm gonna puke from up here!" Dude puts fingers in his throat but is waaaaaaaay to drunk to puke and just proceeds to make gagging sounds for the next minute or so. The dude the ever so nonchantly declares "Adam! I'm gonna piss from up here!"..... and that's about the time I shut the door and went back to my movie.
Did I ever mention that the vast majority of Marines are not too bright when they drink? I mean no one is too smart when they are drunk, but usually they have enough common sense to make semi-valid judgements.
enough ranting... I'm going back to watching the drunks.
