Also, finals. Oh yeah and the part were it's illegal but apparently that doesn't matter
Devil's advocate: there was a litigator in the office who would stress out big time over cases that he would be handling in a week and couldn't focus on doing the paper work in front of him so he would take a shot in order to 'take off the edge.' He had the personality of a perfectionist and was usually very high-strung. Therefore, the alcohol would help him loosen up and take on a more realistic/productive approach to the long work ahead of him rather than stress out about the potential outcomes for cross-examination of key witnesses and other aspects of the trial that were far-sighted.
I occasionally feel anxious at night so I either pop two Nyquil for dizziness/drowsiness or I have a can of beer. The beer tends to work faster on me than the DXM in the Nyquil and I get a flush effect which makes me feel warm and cozy right before I go to bed. It is true that in a college context, students take alcohol irresponsibly. However, frequent use of alcohol does not necessitate that there is an irresponsible usage of it. Although there is a trend for new drinkers to abuse the substance once it becomes available.
