The Irrelevant 5th Drink
This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.
Hello. One non-animated show I watch a fair bit is X-Weighted. A contestant gets advice on how to lose weight. 6 months later, they weigh in for the final result.
One contestant was a lady about to celebrate her 30th birthday. During the mid-point weigh in, Paul Plakas, the fitness expert, found out she was a binge drinker. He asked her how many drinks she was going to have at her birthday party. She said 10. Paul asked if she could cut it down to 4. She reluctantly agreed, then had 14 (!) at the party.
I used to drink, but never in those quantities. And now that I've abstained for 16 years, I have to wonder if the 5th drink was relevant. Certainly a drink an hour for 4 hours would make you feel relevant to your peers. Who are you trying to impress having more?
Drinking excessively should not be needed to feel relevant.

Irrelevant
