I also posted something similar in the CU thread, but....
There was a talk show I listened to yesterday, and they were talking about the difference in drinking games then & now...the goals are different these days - getting puking drunk is the "in" thing. Seriously.
The drinking games I participated in during college were not to see who could consume the most alcohol (and it was usually beer anyways) in the shortest amount of time, but they were more geared as a way to loosen up a bit to talk with the fairer sex...
Nowadays it seems to get as drunk...dangerously drunk as possible. It's almost a status symbol to get admitted to the hospital or to pass out. (Rule #1 of my college days...never...I mean NEVER...be the first to pass out! Unless you like interested pictures of you being posted all over campus....).
I don't get it either - beer was always the way to go - you couldn't get dangerously drunk - you'd be too full or running to the bathroom constantly.
Hard alcohol these days is more popular then when I was in college because of the flavors of the drinks - they don't burn like they used to - is that part of the problem?
