The mansion residents still lose me here. Getting absolutely falling down drunk is absolutely something every person needs to experience once in their life. That's culturally part of what it is to be American. How could you even relate to others while missing key experiences like that?
I think experiencing and enjoying life without trying to judge every aspect of it is exactly what a role model should do.
For some of us it's more a question of powers consideration.
I'm sure I could get drunk and then decide to subjugate every available male over the age of 17 to be my willing cabana boy but I don't think anyone would really enjoy that. (Well, I might but I'd feel terrible when I was no longer drunk.)
So I think I'll leave the fun experience of getting wasted to those better able to enjoy it.
You're a good looking young girl. I'm sure you could find willing participants if not someone immune to the effect. I'd never advocate drinking alone for a ton of reasons.
To add to what Laurie said, drunken psis are often a very, very bad thing. I once ruined the night for a couple of innocent bystanders by scolding Bystander #1 for sleeping with Bystander #2's wife and plotting to off him for the insurance money.
I mean, in a sense it was also a public service, but...
