Shia la Beef

You can't mess with drunk people. It's just not okay. It usually doesn't end well for anyone. Take a look at any episode of The Jersey Shore and you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Drunk people need clear, concise, specific instructions in order for them to be successful at anything. Without such instructions, they're liable to become confused and angry.

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. No, that doesn't mean that it makes you depressed when you drink...though, long term alcohol abuse certainly tends to have depression comorbid in it's presentation, but I digress. The reason I bring up alcohol's depressant qualities on the central nervous system is to highlight that alcohol depresses that piece of your brain that says, "I shouldn't do..." Or, "I shouldn't call..." If you disagree and think that drunk people aren't impulsive, let me again refer you to ANY episode of The Jersey Shore.

I've been told once that during DUI stops, police monitor the person's ability to follow their spoken directions as a means of assessing the person's level of intoxication. As such, they'll give their instructions quickly and make the tasks more and more complicated.



This is just more evidence to support my beginning assertion, you can't mess with drunk people. Another fact about drunk people: they like to eat, delicious, high caloric foods, such as those sold by the wonderful people at Del Taco. Del Taco knows their demographic. It's drunk people. Late night, literal, impulsive drunk people. They should know better than to have a sign like this. I've met some people that would try to rip that door down like angry villagers hunting down Frankenstein's Monster. They're likely to bring torches too while they scream "It's shredded beef o'clock!"

Until next time,
