Drunk And Disorderly
What is it about New Zealanders. Why can we not handle our alcohol?
It seems to me that whenever we have a major event in this country or a celebration of any sort that we need to get drunk and get disorderly as opposed to happy or merry.
What's worse is that we seem to glamorise it.
- It’s not cool to vomit over yourself.
- It’s not nice to get aggressive and ruin everyone else’s evening.
- Your dancing is terrible.
- Why have you soiled yourself?
- Don’t buy that last round of drinks and you’ll have enough money for a cab home.
- If you walk on to the road there’s a higher chance you’ll get run over.
- Rubbish Bins are for rubbish.
- No one is interested in you shouting and your theories make no sense to anyone but you.
- Women don’t find you attractive.
- You are a dick.
Thanks Heinekin.
