					<description><![CDATA[Content warning: alcohol abuse, binge drinking, discussion of risk of violation of consent and assault, underage drinking, social pressure, childhood trauma, anxiety, PTSD, coping, domestic abuse, suicide mention, self harm mention

I have been drinking since I was twelve years old. Alcohol, that is - water and I go way back. I grew up in a drinking heavy culture with easy access to alcohol and the understanding that booze makes you <em>fun</em>, in spite of my own traumatic experiences as a child showing me that drunk adults were <em>not fun</em>. Nonetheless, I jammed to that song and by the time I was legal to drink, I was seasoned, and it tipped over rapidly into a binge drinking habit that nearly ruined my life.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The title sounds angry, but like. Readers, you know it&#8217;s time we had this conversation. I talk to marginalized designers in games all the time, and to like just straight cis white guys like a lot, too.
