This a part of anglo-saxon culture that I didn’t acquire. I don’t see why anyone would think getting smashed is fun and something to brag about.
“I don’t see why anyone would think getting smashed is fun and something to brag about.”
When I was a kid at one of my Dad’s union picnics I remember a man at a nearby table explaining his recent car accident. He said, “Yeah, I killed the guy, but I was drunk.” He offered it as an excuse and the table he was at appeared to accept it as an adequate one. This was roughly 1964 and things have changed a bit. But I have since known people who felt being drunk excused them from any culpability for their actions.
