    Is there a biological urge for getting down and out drunk?

    I believe that's called "foreplay."

    In some, I believe so (addictive behaviors tend to have both psychological and physiological mechanisms.)

    Drinking resolves anxiety for the short term. I can see that being the main reason humans have enjoyed alcohol for millennia.

    Yes.. it's very complex and I shun all simplistic answers, having many, many members of my family who have not achieved their human potential because of alcohol abuse and addiction. There are no easy answers.

    Regarding the virus, it seems like we dont hear much about China cases anymore. Sure is odd if they are back to somewhat normal and Americans are struggling. But then again, it is hard to know what to believe anymore.

    We were talking about college students going out and getting drunk, not social distancing, and thus spreading the plague.

    I have no patience for drunks. My father was done.

    It will be interesting to see how things play out with Hope Hicks being a covid carrier who was in close contact with trump in the moments before she found out she was positive. Considering how germaphobic trump is he must be freaking out. And I'm sure he won't be able to stay home for the next two weeks unless he gets sick enough that he simply has no alternative, which is a realistic possibility if Hope infected him, considering his age and terrible health habits. We may end up seeing a surprise ending to the "reality presidency" tv show.

    Do you suppose he's faking it to get sympathy? With his campaign crashing and the most horrible "debate" anyone has ever had to witness. He would, you know he would if he could. It's also a convenient excuse to have to step down.

    Btw I've found great deals on tin foil hats on Amazon, packs of 100 selling for $20 ...

    in which case reality bites back.
