In chapter 17 Hecht describes the massive drunken celebrations of the ancient Greeks. A lot of parallels can be seen between this and celebrations of modern society, being that many people get totally wasted together. I had my fun with it for a time but quickly moved past it as I found it to be a little too wild and destructive.
Discussion Q: Is the larger sense of social/cultural unified happiness brought on by large drunken parties worth the risk of the dangers it brings?
Factual Q: According to Hecht, is it men or women that are more celebratory? A: women
