A funny case study
For discussion sake, lets say we're observing 2 houses on a Friday night. A pot smoker lives in House A and is planning on having some (5+/-) friends over to get high. In house B, a guy and his buddy are just about to crack open the first beer.
As everyone shows up at House A, they get high and start talking about whatever type of weed they're smoking "
Frankenberry" for example. By this time, the guys in House B have finished their first beers and called a couple more friends, who bring more beers. As the group in House B starts to grow, the group in House A smokes more and continues to discuss the the effect that Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon has had on every piece of music written since it's release. Though all of them agree on how awesome this rock symphony is, they decide to get high again and listen to the album from start to finish.
At this point the guys over in House B are a couple beers deep and call more friends to come over and bring more beer. By now, the TV is on, the stereo is on (louder) to drown out the TV and people are on their phones telling more people about about the "party." Another 5-10 people show up at House B and the people at House A have to start Dark Side over because they got to talking about something else and forgot to listen to how awesome it is. So they pack another bowl and try to re-focus their attention.
By now, we have a full fledged party kicking over at House B (20+ people). The music's turned up and people are starting to shout at each other since they can't hear over the music. But wait, guy#1 has just challenged guy#2 to see who can bong a beer faster. As the bongs are filled up, the cans are tossed into a mounting pile of cans and bottles where the trash can used to be. This is about the time that House A orders pizzas. Unfortunately, the pizza guy is late to deliver because some jack hole over at House B parked like a d-bag in the middle of the street because his girlfriend told him she was just doing a girl's night and he found out she was really going over to the party at this other dude's house.
The pizza guy finds another way to get around to House A. Lucky for him, the pot heads forgot they ordered pizza, so they weren't even mad he was late. In fact, they were so happy to see him that they invited him in to get high with them - which
of course he accepted. Once House A is finished regenerating their buzz, they decide to sync up Dark Side withe the Wizard of Oz and start talking about the midget that hung himself during production and how the government covered it up to protect themselves from Communists while they eat their pizza. Well, they can't find the DVD, so they just eat their pizza. They're about to spark another bowl when they hear a ruckus outside.
The d-bag that parked in the middle of the street is outside yelling at his girlfriend (who was supposed to be "out with the girls") when the winner of the beer bong contest decides to be chivalrous and come to her aid. A fight breaks out on the front lawn. And, before too long, the cops show up and warn House B to move all the cars and chill out. For a while, their party seems to have died, but then a second wave of party goers show up because they got a text about the fight. People are out in the front yard talking about it (loudly) and re-inacting the drama. There are a couple guys without shirts standing around. No one knows why they don't have shirts on, they just don't.
Wait, what happened to the pot heads? Well, they found the dvd and started watching it. It took a couple tries to get the first track of Dark Side synced up wit the Metro Goldwin Mayer
Lion Roar but they got it. MOst of them were just about to pass out when
Time came on and scared the sh!t out of them. They woke up and watched the movie for a couple more minutes before falling back asleep.
Its getting late. The pot heads decide to sleep it off for a few hours before driving home because it is about 1:30am. They know bars are closing and the cops are going to be out looking for drunk drivers that are leaving the bars. Likewise, some of the drunks from House B decide to try and drive home
before they get waaaay to drunk to drive. One guy passed out in his front seat while a group of 4 hopped into a jeep, took out a mailbox while they're yelling and laughing about how drunk they are and what they're going to get a Jack in the Box.
Fast forward to tomorrow morning. The guy from House A is up around 10. He takes a few pizza boxes out to the trash and even picks up a hand full of random beer cans/bottles from House B while walking the dog. The guy from House B is super hung over and stays in bed all day. Rolls out around 3, so he can hit the bar and pre-drink before going over to someone else's house for a kegger. On Sunday afternoon, he finds himself collapsed the couch, still hung over, feeling like crap with a mess in his house and no food in the fridge, wondering how in the hell he got so drunk and if he has another sick day so he can call in tomorrow.
