Hello,
I just thought speaking a bit about this here wouldn't be useless.
I'm in the national airline pilot training in France, and we were 74 taken in 2008, my promotion. We were divided in 2 classes in the country for convenience, so basically, to make it short, we were a class of 34 during the theory courses where we all met before being sent to state flight centers.
One of my mates, not the one I know the most but still a fun guy in the class, a little shy but really pleasant, has been found dead 10 days ago, he was 20.
We (the class) don't know the exact facts but it seems actually quite simple : he was partying with friends in a cold place, I think it was in the moutain, and he went sleeping somewhere around the house. Nobody seemed to search him, they may have all been drunk. He just never woke up, he died in the cold, he never had the reaction of waking up and going to the house. I think his friends will never forget this day.
Not saying that alcohol is bad (I myself drink a lot in parties, eventhough I always control myself and never get beyond) but still be careful, it does not happen only in movies : you can die stupidly because of alcohol. Yesterday I was partying for the NYE in a house near a river gone crazy because of the rain, and when a girl was missing I was actually searching her because of that story, because now I not only know but AM CONVINCED it is possible to die stupidly.
So, you can drink, but be careful, and try to be a little reasonable. Here in france there is a lot of "advertising" to choose 1 person a car to drive and not drink, but I think this should apply to every alcohol occasion. And being careful doesn't apply only to alcohol, but drogs, or dangerous acts. I like to live rock n roll too, but I try not do dangerous things. Crazy is not necessarily dangerous. I like a lot of you here even if we don't know personnally, and just hope this sort of stupid things won't happen to any of you here.
