Binger

While I do not agree with many of the Epicurean beliefs, I do agree that humans often try to fill a void within themselves with unnatural and unnecessary act to receive pleasure. I hear so often the phrase, "I want to get smashed." While I'm not opposed to drinking, I've see this juvenile act become a cop out for people to be able to let go of certain issues momentarily. Binge drinking like this does not achieve true pleasure and can often lead to more discomfort in the aftermath. True pleasure should not be sought through external means like this, but rather through one's self and the relationships with those around him or her.
