Since we are talking about stuff that we don't think should be associated with hacking this is my own pet peeve. What does "getting drunk" have to do with hacking? And why is it always "absolutely smashed" or "ridiculously drunk". I get that most hacker types are shy introverts and couple drinks makes things more fun and socially fluid, but why does it need to go to hangover(s)? 9
This is primary reason which keeps me away from many "hacking camps", they are cool for couple hours, but as the sun goes down things just get sketchy and boring when I have to take care of bunch of drunk strangers.
- px43 3y agoI don't drink alcohol and I've been to every DEF CON for the past 22 years and had a blast at every one. Some people are into that sort of thing, and that's fine. Some people like cocaine and strippers. Some people like dressing up in giant fur suits. The important thing is that whatever you're into, you'll find countless incredibly intelligent and thoughtful peers to hang out with, and talk about weird hacker shit.
