It is the third or fourth page I've see where someone's posted a
picture of themselves drunk. I read in the newspaper that this sort of
thing is very common now, on Facebook as well and other places. Not to
make myself seem too old (I'm only in my early 30s) it does seem,
well, strange! :-)

As I saw someone else say - why not pictures of people doing some
charity work or on holiday, or doing some useful community service.
That would get you barnstars!

BTW, did you see the link I posted in the other post? That hoax
article was "real", just the wrong name.
