All my life i have been working in marketing right from the beginning of my career. I was a novice in drinking while at college but as we all pass out we graduate to a different level. As the field i am working is in marketing i often attend a lot of cocktail parties. But what we all see in cocktail parties have amused me a lot. I am not against drinking. I am not a teetotaler. Its just that the environment is totally different once such a party kicks off.
There are all kinds of people who attend such parties. Some are more concerned about the amount of liquor. some are more on the food being served. The specialty of such parties is that food is never sufficient enough. There are people who desperately want to be drunken all night. some people mix beer with hot which they say is heavenly once consumed. But i get drunk to have a small kick which is more than sufficient for me. I know my limits and i never exceed the limits which is quite good for health. the people who drink too much behave like worms.. they are often called 'keedams' in local language. They make you come to your senses with their antics. Its quite funny the way they behave. But there are a set of people who drink for the sake of drinking and they drink only stuff like mirinda fanta pepsi and slice just to make themselves feel that they are not apart from these alcoholics. The funny thing is that they get more sentimental than the ones who have consumed the actual liquor. So it is much funnier how you have to see the keedams and teetotalers behaving as if they are the same.
