Your Wife Could be a Falling Down Drunk (Opinion)

My dad told me a story about the days when bars were still called saloons.  As he explained it, when my grandparents were young the women didn’t go into the places.

When he was a young man home from the Army, women didn’t go into “beer joints” as he called them without being escorted by a man.  By the time I was in high school and teenagers were sneaking a couple of shared cans of beer out behind the football field, a lot more girls were drinking.  I could see during my college days there were some women who put away the suds on a regular basis.  Looking back, I’m not sure most were as formidable drunks as some of my classmates, but you could spot a trend.  Now, new research shows women have reached parity.  With all the harmful side-effects, men have endured for millennia.

We like to believe we moderns have reached the pinnacle of social evolution.  I’m not so sure.  The libertines argue, I suppose, that more drunken women is a good thing.  This is the end result of a cultural collapse now 50-years in the making.  Ladies, how does equality feel?  You can answer me in the morning.
