"...what life had been waiting for: intoxication"

In our culture today it is almost a rite of passage to turn the age 21 and become old enough to legally purchase and drink alcohol. Of course this doesn't stop most underage boys and girls from slipping out their windows at night in order to go get drunk. Then of course when you go to college it becomes much more of an expectation to drink, get drunk, and have a good time; no matter your age. In Greek mythology Dionysus uses this intoxicating liquid to overpower women that were just beyond his reach. To put it bluntly, this god tricked these women into drinking wine then raped them after they passed out...
     "No other god, let alone Athena with here sober olive, or Demeter with her nourishing bread, had ever had anything that could vie with that liquor. It is exactly what had been missing from life, what life had been waiting for: intoxication."- Pg. 36                              
                Does it sound like a college experience about to turn bad yet??
