College is garbage. You pay a stupid price just to attend the courses and the stupid price doesnt include the cost of materials required to complete the course, which are usually also stupidly priced. I remember having to drop a class my 2nd year because they didn't have enough books in the bookstore and ordering it by mail would have taken just as long as the bookstore to get more in. By the time there were books available, I was 3 weeks behind on course work.

i like how this thread has pretty much immediately turned into a fuckfest between MUH BEER and MUH ABSTINENCE idiots.

1. OP wrote a dumb, college style thing. that's what happened, nothing more. stop blowing it out of fucking proportion.
2. there's nothing wrong with having a beer or two or even a few more at parties. not a single fucking thing.
3. being drunk in class is pointless, teachers shouldn't be drunk in class (and this should be a fireable offense), that much goes without saying. a beer or two, however, hardly qualifies as "drunk" and if it's the last lecture of the day, my god, get your ass out of your head.

now i don't drink alcohol myself anymore and even when i did kept it separate from working/studying, but to each his own, why would i even fucking care. and that, my friends, is what is currently wrong with America: nobody is minding their own goddamn business anymore, everything is a "movement" or a "trend" or some shit, and every little fucking thing is of significance. get your shit together, America. when did you become the nation of crybabies anyway.

I am SOOOOO MUCH SMARTER when I've had a few drinks. It sort of encourages almost an aesthetic to my thinking. It's like my brain starts playing classical music and my ability to sort out what I'm thinking into fluid composition.

Yea, sometimes when I've done enough LSD I can recreate proofs to famous theorems. It's like my mind is a hive of bees, all calculating, probing, questioning independently, but (paradoxically) in perfect unison.

Sometimes, if intuition isn't enough, I'll do what I call a monte carlo proof. I'll just have the bees construct proofs randomly until I can find, just by brute force, the correct one.

Man, drugs sure are great. This is the method I used to pass college algebra.
