We've all heard the line, "I'm sorry I was drunk." While it does excuse some degeneracy, it doesn't excuse being a human trash can. You CAN blame the alcohol (or whatever you so choose to consume) for peeing in a bush or jumping off things you shouldn't. You CAN'T blame alcohol/etc for being a piece of sh*t and doing piece of sh*g things. It doesn't work that way because of this: we all have lines we don't cross whether we're sober or blackout. There are certain things we just will not do. For example: I don't care how many drinks I've had, I'm not going to jump out of an airplane. It's not gonna happen. Being drunk isn't a scapegoat for disregarding your friends and basic human decency.

Ladies, my sistas, girls, gals, women of the world listen up. YOU DON'T EVER LEAVE YOUR FRIENDS. If Stacy leaves because she's too wine drunk and is crying on the bathroom floor, and being an all around mess, you leave with her. You leave with her and you go get Waffle House because that's what girls do. You can't say you were too drunk so that's why you loaded her up in the back of a pickup full of other drunkards by herself. Not leaving your friends alone while they're drunk is a good way to protect each other from asshats, but it's just being a good friend. That's being a bad friend. Beyonce wouldn't leave her friends like that, so neither should you.

You don't hook up with people your friend(s) like and have hooked up with in the past. When you're friend explicitly expresses these feelings to you and asks you to stop making advances, you stop. Being cross faded isn't an excuse. I've seen people make it through TSA higher than a kite and still drunk from the night before. If your friend is having a rough night and asks you to leave, you leave, there ain't enough alcohol, weed, or peen in the world to abandon your friend when they've had a bad night. Don't let your friends give you that sh*t. "I was so blackout. I was so high and so drunk. I'm sorry, dude." NO. If you are that friend just own up to being a jackass and put some effort into mending the bump in your friendship. #ovariesb4brovaries #ballsb4dolls #ammirite

Being drunk doesn't excuse being overtly racist or sexist. If you drop a hard R N-bomb, the people who beat the hell out of you aren't going to care how drunk you are. They're just gonna ruin your night. And you might end up getting your organization kicked off campus. Same goes for blatant sexism.

Drunk driving falls in the not being a decent human being category. If you're drunk, and you choose to drive, you're a complete and utter piece of trash. You're a jackass. And a stupid jackass at that.

Raping someone isn't an excusable drunken offense. It's a crime. It's disgusting. If someone says no or is ptfo'd, you don't have sex with them. You just don't do that. It's really simple. You don't fondle or grope them or mess with them. You cover that person up, and make sure they're okay...and maybe draw a penis on their forehead. You don't have sex with them. That is rape. Guys can be raped too. Just because he's a dude doesn't mean he automatically wants to have sex with you. You can't determine for a guy whether or not he wants to bone. It goes both ways.

All in all, I'm tired of alcohol being blamed for shitty people doing shitty things. Alcohol makes you do a lot of things, but BEING a shitty person is not one of them.
