The University of Central Florida in Orlando is going to be getting a late night bus service. You might think this is a great idea until you hear how happy some of the students are that they won't need a designated driver anymore and now they can ALL get drunk. A female student stated this with wide eyed innocence as though it was the most natural thing in the world.
I know there is a lot of boozing among university students because they are unleashed from parental control and foolish enough to believe they are now adults and capable of running their own lives. There is good reason for parents...they temper hot blooded teens from doing wild and crazy things that could ruin their lives like getting drunk too often and becoming alcoholics.
When I see those street bums, filthy clothes and vacant eyes, I often wonder what in their lives drove them to this state. Alcoholism is right there at the top of the list, I'll bet. It destroys lives, jobs, marriages, and family ties.
The young lady who is so happy to now have the "drunk bus" so she and all her friends can get drunk together is supposed to be our hope for the future. Or is she headed for rehab and unemployment instead?
