Back in September 2007, we were hanging out in his apartment after work with a few drinks, and were talking about terrible Halloween costumes. In this case people egg each other on, and no one wants to be seen as the "downer." I think social pressure is applied through a combination of gift-giving (buying rounds of drinks, for example) and encouragement / discouragement tactics (giving someone shit if they suggest going home or taking it easier).Īnother personal example concerns a good friend of mine and me.

Sometimes, the night becomes a gradual escalation of drinking and general debauchery even though, if you ask each person in the group privately, they would rather stop or take it easier.

At any time one of us could chicken out and say no, but we didn't.Īnd on the plane as I mentioned this, I learned that she had no intention of chickening out, it was never even an option. So we saw that one flight was about to board so we bought tickets and went. Neither of us was going to lose, neither of us was going to be the chicken. I wasn't going to back down and was waiting on her to back down. I saw a flight to a city about an hour flight away that was about to board. Not even sure about getting hotel reservations anywhere. We had no bags, no toothbrush, no clothes. We went in and looked at the flight schedules on the prompters. I kept driving toward the airport, waiting for her to say she was kidding, we can't do this, etc.

About that time I very quickly took the exit toward the airport and said let's do it. We were near the airport and saw an airplane taking off and she said how much she wished she could just be on a plane going somewhere, anywhere. Back in 2000 before 9/11, before she was my wife, my girlfriend and I were driving one day on our day off.
