I think I was tipsy twice in 2019 and that was it. I basically didn\u2019t drink last year. A first in my adult life.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s something that happened just like that, I didn\u2019t call it. Being overworked has perks I guess.<\/p>\n
Anyway the last time I did get a bit inebriated, I was noticing something that I had completely forgotten about drinking: it\u2019s how much you want to see shit go down. To go to eleven. You want that nasty drama.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t matter what. An argument? You want the other to be mean as hell in the response. Sound? LOUDER. Sports? I want some BLOOD on this field. Someone falls, you kind of hope that person to hit it hard or harder. You want a chain of bad stuff to happen. Being part of it or not doesn\u2019t really matter. It needs to go down. When drunk there\u2019s a huge high from witnessing chaos. It\u2019s just there and it\u2019s pretty universal.<\/p>\n
But you have to stop drinking, let your body clean itself out from any trace of alcohol to realize it. It takes months. In our drinking societies, most people have forgotten. Forever.<\/p>\n
Which leads me to television. TV analyses its customers and they realized that most people have drinks at night. Especially the increasingly single, adult population from the past twenty years, right? A glass of wine (it\u2019s never just one, as we all know) in front of the TV has become standard. Which means TV executives can go ahead with the sociopaths, zombies and other \u201cwhatever it takes\u201d type of shows where, as you are under influence, will be entertained. You don\u2019t drink and all of those shows look quite harsh if not psychopathic. You do drink and you\u2019re amused: this person had to die, too bad! This one will go on a revenge tour and I\u2019m all for IT.<\/p>\n
The interaction between what we do and consumer offering. It fascinates me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
