The news media has recently begun reporting on what most university students have known for a long time. The new culture of university life consists mainly of the mass consumption of alcohol and little else. Gone are the days of the glee club and the sweater vest replaced instead with drinking clubs and the white t-shirts w. logos and fitted baseball hats.
This is not to put down the iconic drinkers of the past. We must always show the utmost respect to the legends of the past. The Rat Pack paved the way for the degenerate lifestyle, in fact it was Dean Martin who said, ""You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on." If this expression is lost on you I would encourage you to go to the local LC and down a 26er in one sitting and then you will know what he's talking about.
This trend was embraced and accelerated by the Rock and Roll culture of the 70s. We must never forget the sacrifices made by Keith Moon and John Bonham. If it wasnt for these pioneers of the game people would still be passing out face up in pools of there own regurgitate.
What has changed is that this behaviour is no longer reserved to rockstars and celebrities. In fact it seems that the typical university student (typical in my circle of friends) has far surpassed the average rockstar in terms of partying. The public looks at young hollywood and is appalled by there lewd, debaucherous behaviour and it is at that times I am thankful that I am not a celebrity. Think about waking up after a night of indulgence to see pictures of yourself in a state that you dont even remember. Now thats not my cup of tea. Black Out Drunk has become the norm in many instances. It is very rare that members of the complex are able to piece together any events of the night following our predrinks, which can often be vicious in nature.
BOD, as it is commonly referred to, used to be a sign of a serious alcohol problem. There was one point that if a students parents found him sitting on the main couch in their den covered in his beer-belly ejaculate with no recollection of how he got there, it would have been offensive and deplorable. Now, sure they'd be upset but it aint nothing they havnt seen before.
Enough with these rantings already, there is a point to all this Bucklin' of the Swash. It appears that their has been a steady increase in BOD throughout the river Thames. When your at a bar and your talking to a mate are you actually talking to them? or has their conscious mind been drowned by the behemothic ingestion of alcohol that has already taken place and nothing you say has any consequence what so ever.
I tend to agree with the latter -->

I'm sorry but this "Rantings of a displaced Pirate" shit is simply just not funny. Whether or not your goal was to be humorous, witty or even mildly captivating I can say on behalf of almost everyone reading it that you have failed at all three. Clearly the writer is the weakest of the 4, which leads me to think that for what you lack in being able to amuse even a modest university student, you compensate for by making your post's 10x longer than everyone else's, yet 1000x less interesting. I mean seriously, writing about as lame and unoriginal a topic as students getting black out drunk? Why not just write about the stoner's who like to eat? Do everyone a favor and leave your self proclaimed drinking titles to yourself, because no one really gives a shit.
