Karan, at her blog, wrote an interesting piece on celebrities heading off to rehab at the first act of drunken inappropriate behaviour. Well, if that’s all it took to make you go to rehab, the little law school here on the prairie would be a rather empty place. Inappropriate drunken behaviour is an unwritten requirement of being in law school.
This past weekend, as you can guess from Sunday's post, featured a lot of drinking. It was Legal Follies weekend and the name alone sums it up. Legal Follies is actually the name of the annual show put on by law students. It includes musical performances, videos, skits, etc. Many of the law school videos on this site were all created for Legal Follies type shows at other law schools.
Anyways, Legal Follies is followed by the After Party. This year we got an early start with margaritas over dinner before the show started. We decided then to take a nalgene of margaritas to the show with us. God, it's like we're 16 again, sneaking booze into the theatre. There was more drinking at the After Party. Then there was the impromptu After After Party which happened at a class mate's apartment.
The new rule should be that when the bar closes or an event happens, GO HOME! The problem with going back to someone's place is then you just keep drinking. Rather than get home at 2 am, you end up home at 5 am.
The nice thing of restricting this behaviour to only the main law school events, i.e. Prom, Halloween, Follies, St. Patrick's Day is that everyone else is as drunk and as inappropriate. The best thing about this past weekend, is it leveled the playing field between me and the cowboy-lap-dancer. This time it was the cowboy-lap-dancer being inappropriate with me, so we've called it fair and square and neither one of us has to be embarrassed anymore.
See, some good things can come out of drunken inappropriate behaviour. And as for rehab, I'll leave that to the celebrities who can't handle a little public embarrassment.
