At most parties, there's at least one person who doesn't quite follow the rules: The lone drunk. This person wants to make the party a party by drinking a greater volume of alcohol and at a faster pace than everyone else. Regardless of how many family members or co-workers are in attendance, and no matter how calm the party would otherwise be, the lone drunk will continue consuming alcohol past the point of being under control, and this is where things get quickly out of hand. There's usually some colorful language, some risque actions, and a few off-color jokes. The only person who doesn't think the lone drunk has had enough to drink is the lone drunk. Everybody looks on with surprise and fascination as the lone drunk continues to embarrass and insult, oftentimes causing harm to relationships and careers. But at the same time, nobody thinks any less of the lone drunk. Because let's face it, who hasn't been the lone drunk themselves at one time or another? Sometimes people drink a little too much. And too much drinking makes words come out with no thoughts attached. Horrible things can be said and atrocious acts can be committed while drunk. But after the alcohol wears off, everything is back to normal. So don't blame the lone drunk; he/she was just trying to have a good time. #psychology
