Liquor and most campus students are like Bonnie and Clyde;
inseparable. The following are categories of some of the likely responses you
would get if you decided to go round campus asking comrades why they take booze:
1.
Lenga stress: `Sometimes I need some bubbles for
my troubles.`
2.
Power struggle: `It`s crucial that from time to
time I remind my liver who the boss is.`
3.
Nutrition: `Alcohol has a higher number of
calories compared to tea or coffee. `
4.
Mourinho`s tactics: `It requires you to take some drinks to
make the chapanese chics
in the club look approachable.`
5.
Patriotism: `Kenya is a drinking nation.`
6.
Fashion: “Sometimes I need the colour of my eyes
to match with that of my red tie.`
7.
Medical: `Alcohol is an antiseptic and I think I
have internal wounds.`
8.
Religion: `I like being filled with the spirit(s)`
9.
Romance: `I am in love with (read addicted to)
frothy liquids.`
10. You will never walk again:I drink because I am a Liverpool fan`

11. Vengeance:`Nakunywa tu kuudhi Mututho.`
12. Chemistry:`Chemically speaking, alcohol is a solution.`
Yeah, comrades will give bizarre reasons as to why they take
pleasure in drinking. The fact that this kind of lifestyle leaves behind
traumatised livers and bleeding wallets does not seem to faze them.
