How many 20-year-old males that you know do not think they are invincible, immortal, and essentially indestructable? Well, in the cities of mainland China like Beijing, where the State only permits one child per family, you are dealing with EIGHT Little Emperors out of control. Nobody is documenting the impaired condition of these so-called friends themselves, they are just the scapegoats. In many Oriental countries, it is considered the RIGHT of the man to get blind stupid drunk any time he feels like it and the family and women cater to him in the process. Slang got to thoroughly enjoy this cultural dynamic while he was in the Philippines. The Chinese judge who slapped these boys with the fine is not going to go home that night and lecture his OWN SON about drinking responsibly and morality.
