Why are some people obsessed with getting absolutely hammered?

Just say you're "straight edge" and that'll cover you a little

You're not a teetotaler or anything. You WILL drink, just not to the EXTREME to where you can't even remember anything (yeah whats the point of that).

Thing is it can be in the job world too after college. They don't have "HAPPY HOURS" for nothing. Thats maybe some cheesy "adult" type of stuff to you know. But depending on industry you're in there can be shmoozing and business deals done over drinks and in bars. Its good to find some type of niche in the drinking world simply for THE NETWORKING.

You're a social drinker. Thats good enough. As long as you know some names of the good beers and mixed drinks, and don't look like a total newb, you'll be okay.
