What alcohol does is it narrows your focus to the present, and it makes you opaque to threats. Essentially, so it's quite fun in that regard, because it allows you to be enthusiastic without any concern for the future.

They go off and they have a couple of days off, and they want to blow off some steam. So they have a rius party, and rius parties are where stupid things happen. But having said that, I don't exactly understand how much steam you do have to blow off in order to be able to tolerate the life that you're leading— that high stress, anything is possible at a moment's notice life.

I've already said I know what alcohol contributes to these sorts of situations, but by the same token, you know, it's like how much do people need to let off steam?
