Meh, an opinion piece by a staff writer looking for clicks. Obviously there are a lot of different opinions in our society about alcohol consumption though. I promise to keep my challenge off my nonexistent Instagram account though!
I do get his point though. The people I know in real life who do this have to bring it up constantly, like certain of the people who don't own TVs/ are vegetarian/ insist you must follow Orman's or Cramer's financial advice/ whatever and want you to validate their actions by jumping on the bandwagon with them. It's related to the FB (or IG) posts of people patting themselves on the back for getting rid of their old finishing medals and waiting for the adulations to roll in over how mature that is. Doing something positive and loudly announcing it everywhere and all the time because you crave the attention is obnoxious. We should do positive things because they're positive, and not be broadcasting it everywhere.
I'm not talking about this thread, to be clear. The equivalent behavior would be bringing it up in a half dozen other threads every day.
The point is, ladies and gentleman, that speed, for lack of a better word, is good. Speed is right, Speed works. Speed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
