Drinking Games

I went to a Fourth of July party the other day...the fourth, I believe...and everyone had a good time celebrating this country's independence in the usual way, getting blind drunk with strangers.
My only problem with the day's festivities was that most of our time was spent playing silly drinking games. There was an ex frat guy there who was not comfortable drinking unless he had to complete some sort of task beforehand, be it flipping a card, throwing a ping pong ball, etc.

And here is where Landon loses immediately. I don't play drinking games. I never have. I never wanted to. I don't like regular games. I don't need a game to structure my drinking.

Most people think the point of drinking games is to get really drunk much faster...and that's not where I take issue with the concept. I can get there just as quick. I actually just don't want the inconvenience of rules impeding on any of my already well established bad habits.

Several people have agreed with me saying that after a certain point, either after college, or upon entering the "real world" in some way, that a 25 or 26 year old individual should be able to mature beyond the point of needless "partying" (I hate that word) or whatever.
I don't necessarily agree with that, but I do think that after a certain point those frat guys who endured so much hazing and night after night of ridiculous drinking should graduate and mature into just regular old heavy drinkers. That old standby alcoholic.
