Even the ones who don't really drink that much will pour a few thousand extra calories down their throats.
Why?
To celebrate Independence?

Maybe the holiday is an excuse to do what they've been itching to do. Go crazy for a while.
I have often wondered whether my friends who drink all weekend at parties and then don't drink for upto 3-4 weeks are alcoholics.
They tend to have fun. Get drunk, and seem to able to shake it off and get back to their lives for extended periods of time.
I know that I can't do that. I have tried. But have always started drinking every weekend. Then every day. Then to the point of almost losing my job.
Let people have their 'fun'. Some people really are having fun. And most are fooling themselves.
Stay the course!
