Why not go to bed early then hit the deck running with a big smile tomorrow morning ?

to me, getting drunk was just a laugh. Nothing more. :smile:
At such a young age, they can't yet understand how much they're wrecking their bodies.
It's their bodies to wreck.
Binge drinking for me is a way of having fun with my mates. Yeah sure it's not the best thing for my body, but I'm young and stupid and these are the only years in my life where I can get away with it. So party on I say.

Living for today is an unhealthy way of life. I used to live for the moment but it's took its toll.
