I was talking to the younger generation who like to just get drunk and think that's a great time. I'm glad you liked the rest of the article though. -Andrew Hi Priyanka,

When talking about parties – I’m not talking about office parties and having a good time. I was talking to the younger generation who like to just get drunk and think that’s a great time.

I’m glad you liked the rest of the article though.

Why else do offices have their annual parties? So people can get away from their desks a bit and let their hair down. I've done drinks (minimal, and in company) and not drugs, but definitely partying - which I think is a great mood booster at times. But as usual, life is neither a lifelong party nor an uphill struggle/task all the time - it changes and evolves, changing us sometimes in the process (if it had no change, things would be a bit boring, no?) I feel (just my personal opinion) that if you didn't do parties when growing up, you could maybe mention what worked for YOU personally, and what didn't, instead of a blanket statement like that, qualify your advice, so to speak - Party, but not so hard that you lose track/or party - but don't overdo it! or party - not as the sole aim, but as little sprinklings of good fun in life. Other than that, I loved ur article, its analogies, its point about 'drama', and the pop test part most of all! A friend was telling me today about the School of Hard Knocks she's been thru, and I'll definitely pass on that bit to her :-) @tim: "in school the lessons come before the test, in life, the lessons come after the test." awesome.

I tried to make it a little different than others out there. I was never in to parties, drinking, drugs, and all that. I just find it to be a waste of time and money. There's so much more that can be done and so many other ways to obtain joy. I agree with you friend, that statement couldn't be more true. -Andrew Hey Tim,

I like the post….
