Social goals and nonsocial goals are only rarely at odds with one another
hahah than why is smoking cool for many people? Why is binge drinking a sign of status in American colleges? Why do we pull all nighters and damage our health for the pursuit of the perfect paper, party, or performance.
Social goals are a large portion of the time at odds with individual health goals.
I’m probably generalizing too much from my own experience, which is social pressure to get educated and practice other forms of self-improvement. I’ve never actually seen anyone who considers binge drinking a good thing, so I had just assumed that was the media blowing a few isolated cases out of proportion. I could easily be wrong though.
