You are correct, the incredible amount of alcohol (booze, hard liquor) consumption that some of these so-called "swingers" of the younger generation partake in on a frequent basis is practically beyond belief. When Natalee Halloway began "socializing" with her alleged killer she was already ultra intoxicated, and then her urging her alleged killer to enjoy a potent "jello shot" from her bare skinned naval (belly button), well, that's appalling... She obviously was unable to conduct herself in a responsible manner due to the extreme quantity of alcohol she consumed. Today's "kids" with their volatile drinking habits must be forced to understand the potential dangerous consequences of their reckless actions--- not only the short term consequences (robbery, drunk driving fatality, rape, murder) but also the longterm consequences to their health (liver failure, etc)... Isn't ANYONE except us here on this JTF message board willing to address this issue?!... Why aren't our politicians and members of law enforcement paying more attention to this growing epidemic of irresponsible behavior and making a serious effort to curtail it? Is it because the alcohol lobby has such a firm grip on the political suits in Washington? Is it because booze is such a "booming" busine$$?! You decide...
