Is There Ever A Reason To Get Blinding Drunk? (Past Challenge #3)

[loved_by_two]

We need a reason, now?

There has never been a reason to get drunk in my entire life.

We celebrate victories and festivals with the sharing of wine, mead and anything else that may be availed to us. We drink a great deal at times. When we are grieving for the loss of a friend or a loved one...well, then we get very drunk indeed.

We get blinding drunk and take turn telling fantastic stories of their lives. Drinking and spinning impossible tales honors the soul of the dead. We mourn their death, but we also celebrate their life.

On the other hand...

Well, alcohol is called liquid courage for a reason.

Sometimes getting blinding drunk is the only way to handle some of the situations life throws at you. Life is often called a double-edged sword for that very reason. Alcohol has helped some of us pass many a night on our journeys and battling our demons.

Without getting blinding drunk, I may never have had the courage to tell Arthur and Lancelot the truth about what I feel. I would have kept it to myself and missed out on so much.

So, yes, I could give you many reasons for getting blinding drunk.
