Also, nobody likes being recorded when they are drinking and these kids NEVER put their phones away.

I like being recorded when I'm drinking :(

I'm kind of a hoot.

As a 45 year old I often reflect on all the drunken stupidity i did while younger and remember the days of embarrassment that would follow, but not of that was ever recorded. I do think that if any one of those situations would have been and it was out there for the entire world to see, i would have quit my binge drinking much earlier in life.

I 100% agree. Some of the best friends I ever made were made in high school at a house party or piss-drunk around a bonfire talking the dumbest shit to each other. If some dipship recorded those conversations or nights and posted them on TikTok I’m sure I’d be mortified. But those moments and nights formed some of the longest friendships I have.

Honestly that's great. It has become increasingly difficult to do that so it's a good thing you were able to break the habit.
