We Always Called It "Getting Primed" in My Day

This article from CNN.com addresses what they call "pre-partying"-a ritual where college students drink before actually going to a party where they will drink more.

News flash: college kids like to get shitfaced. This will always happen wherever you get young adults together-they will get wasted.

I did it, they probably did it 50 years ago, and they will do it 50 years from now. That's part of what college is about-finding your drinking limit, exceeding that limit, feeling like a jackass the next morning, then doing it all over again.

You grow out of it. People just need to let it go. The ones that die from drinking too much are just pissing in the gene pool anyways.
