Why do we like “getting wasted” so much?
This is the question posed by Bob Pop in this brief but sharp essay,
where he combines irony, cultural reflection, and personal experience. With his characteristic style
—he writes as he speaks, speaks as he thinks, and thinks very well, as Andreu Buenafuente says—,
Bob explores the attraction to drinking until passing out, that shared dizziness that can be play,
release, and at the same time, danger.
Between intimate confession and sociological insight, the author reflects on alcohol as a social ritual,
the trust in others to support us, or the certainty that sometimes there will be no one.
All with his unmistakable mark of humor, sharpness, and tenderness.
