Almost everyone I know binge drinks from time to time.. You are right that it’s better not to but calling it Russian roulette is a pretty big overstatement.

- zamalek 3y agoThe only thing that "everyone you know is doing X" indicates is that "everyone you know does X." It is in no way correlated to how bad of an idea it is.
- stev-0 3y agoI never said it was a great idea. I said that equating it with a one in six change of instant death is a bit dramatic.
- zamalek 3y agoIt's a literary device: a simile. I'm not dumb enough to suggest that it's actually like Russian roulette, I myself would have been long dead. The similarity is with playing games with your life, which is objectively true.
