What is interesting to observe, in situations where drunkenness is prevalent, are the senseless justifications for certain things to occur during a party. The road to drunkenness usually starts with cracking open a cool beverage and breaking the ice with old and frequent acquaintances. Soon after the first comes a second. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. Final destination: Drunkenness. Don't forget to leave your rationality at the door and have a safe trip. Begin "drunk drama." This continues until two factions of Speed-drunks starts something. This is where the night takes a turn for the...well, the awkward yet expected. The drunkenness catalysts the sincerity of these awkward yet expected remarks and, in most cases, all hell will break lose. The Animals will comment on the situation loudly, some showing Bear-like qualities, and the Straight-men observe from the corner, hiding their comments behind an empty hand. Time passes. More "drunk drama." Now, for out of happenstance the following incident were to happen, the mob takes a drastic turn toward anarchical tendencies. At this point in the night, it is very likely that a Speed-drunk has crashed, or passed out, on a chair, couch or even on the floor. Say, for instance, this particular Speed-drunk has instigated much "drunk drama" earlier in the night. And now for the mob's revenge! Someone, usually an Animal or Bear, under the effects of drunkenness will get the notion that whipping out their dick and sticking in the Speed-drunk's face and documenting this is a good idea. So he does it. The mob reacts! Cheers, gasps, moans, laughter, smiles, squinted eyes, turned heads, pictures taken. Straight-men do not react. Fear to stand up against a mob of drunk mentality, they have become Bystanders. The effects of drunkenness create a senseless justification for the wrong-doings of others. There is little one can do after the fact, including during the fact. Drunkenness or a senseless justification? Is there difference? Guilt is a faceless emotion to the Drunk. To be a Bystander, I feel guilty. I admit, I turned my head and moaned, even laughed in its grotesque absurdity. I feel ashamed for all parties. I feel ashamed at the Animal and sorry for the Speed-drunk. But I feel guilty to be the Bystander. My senseless justification for the mob's action was enough to turn a Straight-man crooked.
