I think that certainly sums up the current trend for too many young
people, where young women unfortunately predominate, many of whom now
include and allow excessive drinking and eating to intrude on their
working week.
Of course for more mature people who enjoy a good social life, it has
always been a case of working hard during the week, with many
professionals working long hours, and then making sure that they relax
over the weekend and really switch off for two days.
This means that there is always something which to look forward, and
that a social life can be planned around a time when most people are
available to participate, in a whole range recreational pursuits, and
it is a convivial way of personal networking, and recharging the
batteries ready to start again on Monday.
Of course there are none so judgmental as those that have had drug,
tobacco and alcohol problems to addiction levels, and have been
obliged to permanently desist and find some other way to fill their
leisure time.
They will always have a jaundiced view of those that are still using
alcohol, as an enjoyable de-inhibitor at all sorts of social occasions
around the world, and continuing a custom which goes back through many
ages, cultures and civilisations.
Such people will always attempt snide comments at those that they
envy, for hidden away in their psyche is the awareness that they
really spoiled things for themselves, and there is no way to recapture
the fun and magic that once existed and excited.
