This is Your Roommate on Beer

I'm up and posting only because the drunk roommate has his Metallica on, and his subwoofer is right next to the wall my room shares with his. Even though I'm beginning to accept drinking in general (hey, even Jesus drank wine), I'm also confirming reasons why I don't drink. Roommate 1 is a pretty nice guy, but alcohol brings out a kind of "passive jerk" in him where he either doesn't think or doesn't care about being discourteous, such as playing metal music when I'm trying to sleep. Roommate 2 drinks more and more often. For some reason he likes to cook while drunk, so Roommate 3 and I tend to get stuck with kitchen cleanup. There's also a glass still cemented to the bathroom sink from the night he binged on White Russians. Come to think of it, he actually is a slob all the time. It's just more pronounced when he's drunk. Oh, and when he plays loud music during the early hours, there is also singing.

Maybe there's a certain standard of etiquette amongst drunkards that I've never learned about because I'm not one of them. There's some kind of secret society that meets in bars and tries to take over the world, but they never get around to it because they're all too drunk by the end of the meeting. Or the robot army doesn't work because someone spilled drinks all over the blueprints and made a '5' look like an '8.'
