In a sense, it's a shame my generation brings onto itself

It's no shame to want to go out and have a good time with friends. Alcohol, for better or worse, is part of that for most adults.

NYC is much safer now than it was when I was a teenager. 18 & 19 year old girls who don't know their limits (and at that age, who does) should go to these clubs with male friends they trust. If they don't have male friends they can trust, then perhaps some introspection on their part would be better than clubbing.

"It's no shame to want to go out and have a good time with friends. Alcohol, for better or worse, is part of that for most adults."

I agree. However, looking at my peers, I very rarely see any modicum of common sense on their part. Indeed it is a rarity on the party scene.

I'm not against having a good time--I'm against people using their head and doing it safely and legally. If they can do it while keeping themselves out of trouble, I have no beef with it...8^)

OTOH, I've never seen the point in clubbing, but that's just IMO...
