Michael Turner: Idiot

What is a "friend weekend"?

 

Meaning a couple of the big weekends a year that my friends and I do annually - namely fantasy football draft and auto race weekends.

 

Don't you have the friends who say weird shit on facebook that we hear about?

You seriously have friends in their 30's who would rather people drive drunk than cab it from a bar?

 

That game didn't end until after/around midnight. I'm assuming he didn't drink before the game. Interesting timeline here on how fast he would have left stadium, gotten somewhere, gotten drunk, gotten caught.

 

They don't think they're drunk. That's the point. They say: "I'm fine." Now, we all end up in cabs. But nobody wants to admit they've drank too much. Even to themselves. In fact, it makes me wonder if being in your 30's might even increase the risk of it somewhat, under certain circumstances, because you don't want to admit to yourself that you've had too much. In your 20's, it's cool to be wasted to the point of cab rides. Not so in your 30's.

 

I don't see why you'd be puzzled over that. A LOT of idiots have that aversion. (Nothing against your friends, DW, just sayin'.)

 

No, it just sounds like your friends are complete douchebags.

 

No, they're actually all great guys. I don't know. I'm not going to fight about it or defend their honor here or anything. The point is that sometimes, people's judgment is impaired when they drink. Yours isn't, apparently. Congrats on that.

 

What 30 year old guy goes to a bar, drinks, and is "in denial" and would rather drive drunk than take a free cab that Dick is offering?

The story stretches the boundaries of reality. It has a Drip-like quality to it.

 

Really. I have friends who are like that. Does not make them bad people. They just have exceedingly poor judgment in that area.

 

Yeah, I have this Solomon-like wisdom that I don't fire up the car when I'm buzzed, and I take a cab when my friend is offering it. I'm one in a billion with this special judgment I own.

 

People who get behind the wheel when they're drunk are bad people. News flash.
