I am all for a once a year getting together with brothers in arms, burning some meat and then settle down to a night of drinking and talking.
So far the only down side to it has been, one of the group a real serious guy and a great friend at about 2 am if we are in a home starts stripping and more than once we have found him sleeping it off naked. Even on the kitchen table once.
But no more than that one night, does the booze flow like that for me.
This is a good time to recommend the book "On Killing" by Lt Col Dave Grossman.
He goes into the psychology and physiology aspects of violence and war.
