The association between coolness and hedonism

Engaging in so much substance use that you become a liability to yourself and others isn’t cool. Smelling someone’s vomit after them getting drunk and getting into a car wreck and then pissing themself certainly
isn’t cool. Getting laid is cool, but having a body count above 100 likely isn’t cool. They might have a lot of STDs, unplanned pregnancies, and interpersonal drama. People who “party” to excess seldomly are powerful. Being powerful is one of those traits listed in that article.

Who says I threw up on myself, wrecked a car or had STDs? Part of being cool is knowing how to handle partying while maintaining a postion of power. Being powerful is cool in and of itself.

And all of this without pissing myself. I did get stabbed once, but low and behold people thought that it was kind of cool that I survived and put my attacker in prison.
