I can honestly say that this has never happened to me once in my life. I can't imagine it being the norm "nowadays".

Oh, I don't think it's the norm, Lol hopefully as we age , we get better. Or at least cut down on the booze

I've got two female friends who'd be considered lifelong - their parents were friends with mine, so we all grew up together. Although I don't have as much in common with them now that we're all adults.....mostly just that our lives have gone in different directions. (one example being that they're both married, while I'm not)
