They Cost About the Same, But One is a Hell of a Lot More Fun

"...thanks largely to the mania for televised poker, a night out for adolescent boys (and it is virtually all boys) in nearly any suburban town these days almost invariably takes the form of a marathon game with stakes as low as the $5 buy-in at this game or considerably higher at some impromptu tournaments."

Really? Because when I was fourteen a night out with my friends invariably took the form of getting stoned on weed, piss drunk and passing out in a park. No doubt, the times, they-are-a-changin'. (NYT)
