One of my favorite new Madison bloggers is the mysterious Two-L McTwo-L at Law & Alcoholism. I love his post from yesterday about nearing the end of exams and celebrating the end of exams. Here's a snippet (the rest is just as funny):

After Crim Pro let out, I got in line to pick up my Law Review write-on packet and take a shot. I took a leisurely lunch, stopped back at my apartment for a quick couple shots of Jager, and strolled over to Brats. When I got there, I realized to my utter horror that I was by far the most sober of all my friends. This was entirely unacceptable. I had an idea, that was so crazy that it just might work. I ordered a quintuple Jack on the rocks. The bartender said that they could only give me a triple at most. I ordered a large glass of ice and five separate shots; realizing that he wasn't going to win, the bartender just gave me a big ole' glass full of Jack. I threw it back in less than five minutes and was still relatively sober. Apparently I had forgotten the alcohol needs to be absorbed before it takes effect, so I ordered another quintuple. And another.

I remember those days. Or, should I say, I remember that I don't remember those days. People can talk about the dangers of binge drinking and attempt to make their campuses dry, but the fact is, is that college and grad school are tough, you work hard and you need to blow off steam. The vast majority of people will make it through just fine. I mean, look at me, I was once The Onion's Drunk of the Week*, and now I'm a respected citizen and blogger. There's hope for us all.

*The Onion used to have a weekly feature where they'd find some random drunk and give them the "award". You got a certificate and they'd print a picture of you in the paper, holding up a sign that said "I am the Onion Drunk of the Week. And I am dumb".
