Your dry matches can't help you make a fire with wet fuel.

That's why drunks slur their words, have poor muscle control, have lessened inhibitions....

The most intellectual people are all drinkers...dont believe me...

Realbeer.com: Beer News: Are drinkers smarter?

Realbeer.com: Beer News: Beer drinking = Clear thinking

if you dont believe them ask them for their sources...they will gladly give them to you.

I don't think the countless teens who get hammered every weekend in ghetto areas are part of that.

That starts happening after ONE drink, according to scientific studies. No matter how well you THINK you can hold your liquor.

Our opinion of or own abilities can sure be misleading.

I have neighbors that drink a lot and honestly I can't see the allure of just standing around getting plastered, sounds like a complest waste of time and braincells to me.

I think the people you've described are seeking fun. Of course they're misguided.

O well. Hang out with the older people maybe, at your new job. Maybe one of your peers there will see the light & choose to hang out with you sometime.

You could host a party (BYOB) & just show you do know how to have fun. Show you don't mind if they drink while you have fun!

I hope your new job works out. I bet it will.
