The Truth About Drinking.

Do people drink because of how they feel after they drink,

Or do they like the taste of alcohol?

A bunch of social drinkers going out to get a drink is quite a funny thing. I drink to patronise you. You drink to fit in because you think I drink. She drinks because she thinks you might think she's being snotty to not. And then we all get dead drunk and hung over and when our parents ask us why we torture ourselves, we sigh, resigned, saying that "bo bian. my friends all drinkers."

Its analogous to a table of 10 people who love the person on their right more than themselves or the person on their left. There is a roast chicken on the table with only one chicken backside (given that it is a normal chicken with only one ass). Of the 10, 9 absolutely love parsons' noses, and 1 has no feelings for it.

To prove that they love the one on their right, they pass on the butt to their right, thinking that offering their favourite part of the chicken is a sign of affection. When it gets to the last person, he dumps it. He doesn't pass it on because he hates it, and offering something you detest to someone you love does not attest your affections.

And the 9 watch on in muted horror.

In hindsight.
