Now beer is something else. It can quench thirst too. But that is not the only function of beer. Beer is a symbol. It means I have arrived.
Beer is a declaration of independence.
I can hop over the boundaries when I drink beer. Beer loosens me up, gets me talking, gives me a buzz, makes me feel better. Or so it seems. The reason parents, university administrators, police and other adults getso concerned about alcohol consumption is that they are afraid. They have seen lives destroyed by alcohol abuse.
