supposedly so open-minded

in berkeley, people are ok with naked. my new friend g- told me that one day, to prove that "chemistry grad students aren't pussies," he stripped off all his clothes and paraded himself down the street. the cops drove by, honked, and said, "put on your clothes, asshole," and then drove off. so apparently, this sort of behavior, if not exactly condoned, is at least expected. after all, it's berkeley.
however, if you say, "oh, i don't drink," all sorts of questions arise.
it's funny. all this anti-establishment pride, and no one notices that all they've done is normalize their counter-culture. we accept all kinds, espouses berkeley. subtext: so long as your kind is our kind.
the only lesson that i derive from this is that instead of saying, "i don't drink," i should just say, "oh, i've had enough." i already drive like i'm drunk anyway.
