Seems like there is more of that going on this year than past years. Wonder if the colder winter is causing any of that?

Just a shame it happens at all though!

Well I don't understand the attraction either Sity.. I used to drink socially until so many just couldn't give it up on a regular basis.. sad waste of one's life and health. I believe it happens more not only with extreme temperatures but with a bad economy and hopelessness in some. Yes a shame it happens at all Star..

Well I have noticed a 'pattern' when people drink in the villages.

First of all - the price of a $7.00 bottle of booze in the arctic villages is about $300 bucks!!

First they get happy... then they get LOUD - then a miracle happens and they become 'the smartest person in the world.. then the final stage - they always turn violent. Any native will tell you - they are not drunk - they are just 'feeling high'. Drunk doesn't begin until you are passed out unconscious.

Nobody drinks that stuff - because they are 'thirsty; they drink to alter their present state ( of lack of .. a mind).

I saw too much growing up! I don't want to sound like that; I don't want to act like that; and I sure as heck don't want to SMELL like that!

I've spent a lot of time talking to these 'professors of logic' at the shelter; truly the world's smartest people; They have all the (wrong) answers;

Quit drinking & start THINKING... was our message to everyone daily!
