And it is only natural to be seeking alternatives. However, when one examines the merits of most alternative social activities, such as prayer circles or drumming in the woods with other bankers, one realizes that the alternatives are better when drunk as well. So, utility among alternatives being basically equal provided the constant of booze, the problem is really not the booze. It is a lack of preparation. Wearing a skater-punk like wallet chain and a full motorcycle helmet could have prevented everything. Maturity is not about drinking less, it's about showing planning and forethought. . .and, of course, a little more aversion to risk. Thus, protecting ones wallet and physical person before a night of drinking are actions that one would only undertake if they had the maturity to continue drinking.
