I have a new post up at CMCForum about how the school's attempts to cut down on the amount students drink will probably fail. I used some ideas from evolutionary biology and sociology to get to the punchline. The reaction is more or less what I expected; most people reading the article haven't heard that kind of an argument before. Moreover it's not really very nice to imply that people are all competing with each other, and some people have higher status than others. Hopefully I've made at least a few people think.

Liked what you read? I am available for hire.
