Like many young people fresh out of classes | made the choice to celebrate. Now whether you
enjoy crowded venues full of loud music and liberally priced drinks or not, there’s something
to be said for cutting loose and accepting a few vices. Between working, classes, and the
ups and downs of maintaining personal relationships, it’s increasingly challenging to lead a
perfect and clean life. However, occasional indulgence might not be the worst thing for you.
Concerned groups have repeatedly informed anyone who will listen of the harm done by high
risk behavior, but considering the modern focus on reducing stress maybe an adrenaline
rush, or a night of poorly remembered excitement, is worth the risks involved. Thanks to
various initiatives from concerned groups, better education on how to safely do stupid things,
and the fact that almost everyone carries a device that can hail a cab, call a friend, or look up
directions to emergency, we now live in the safest time to do unsafe things. Now this isn't a
suggestion to spend every weekend partying like the world might not be there in the morning.
I’m only suggesting it’s possible to cut loose once in a while, and survive to talk about it. The
avoidance of risk, and arguments that support it all miss mentioning one thing, no one lives
forever. On average we each get roughly 80 years, and at least 20-30 of those years are fairly
limited. So maybe that wild night out was a mistreatment of a liver that’s doing its best, and
high risk behaviors can slowly shave time of your life, but the reality is our time is limited, and
reasonably indulging in the occasional vice, especially considering one more might become
legal and safer, might not be the death sentence we’ve been lead to believe it is.
