Lifestyle course: Essay for next week

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Okay, this week I am going to set an essay, after I forgot my cunning ploy of refraining from doing so didn't spark huge and entertaining arguments in class last time round.

This week, we're going to be exploring alcohol. In particular, the ways in which alcohol can enhance -- or, alternatively, detract from -- one's lifestyle.

Please put your essays -- one hundred words, as before -- into the tray here by Saturday evening, and we'll study the topic in greater depth on Monday as before.

I'm intending to do some serious research into this matter on Friday afternoon, so please keep an eye out for me in town.

Edit: Thanks to a number of people dropping out or leaving school, I've got vacancies on this course. If you want to sign up, just leave me an essay like the other students. You'll be expected to join in the seminar on Mondays. Participation, marks and grades will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

Well, most people like to think that alcohol enhances one's lifestyle. And it does in some ways. I mean, you're more relaxed than usual so you become more sociable. Fear of talking to people, especially of the opposite sex leaves with the more drinks you have. And alcohol is the international sign of a party so naturally people will flock to where it is.
On the other side, it can make some people brash and moody. They become someone nobody would want to hang around with. And you can do embarassing things that people will most likely bring up for years to come. So basically alcohol is a gamble. You could end up with more friends, lose some friends or pictures of you naked with a lampshade on your head could emerge.
