"30 Reasons Girls Should Call it a Night" is the Hot Facebook Group

Imagine an online collection of photos of college girls passed on a dance floor or throwing up in a toilet. Medical emergencies? No. These girls are just drunk and featured on "30 Reasons Girls Should Call it a Night," a group on Facebook, a popular social networking site.

Many Facebook fans are flocking to join this growing group which has more than 4,800 photos and more than 160,000 members. So what's the appeal?

Truth is funnier than fiction. These photos are taken by real people in real situations that are often funnier than anything one would see in a movie. The drunken girls in the photos can be seen peeing in their pants, making out with other girls or just passed out for the night with beer bottle in hand.

There is no shame. So what if a girl's employer see her in a drunken lip lock with her coworker during happy hour? She'll be among good company as this group glorifies drunken behavior. Some of the comments on the group site reflect the amusement.

"This group is way too funny," posted Rodney Rumford of Silicon Valley.

"Hahaha this has to be THE best group ever! And here I was, thinking I was the only crazy girl in the world," wrote Jessica Carroll of Kitchener, Ontario.

It has hit mainstream media. As the group continues to grow since its inception last fall, mainstream outlets such as Fox news have picked up on this hot group. As it gains popularity membership numbers keep climbing. Some of the members post pictures, others make comment and other just join out of curiosity.

It's somewhat educational. The group does provide some information for those that need to know the 30 Reasons Girls Should Call it a Night. Among the reasons are: "Your slurring your words so bad, that nobody can understand what your saying and then when they say what, you can't even remember what you were talking about." and "Your make-up is smeared all over your face and somehow you have still managed to make out with 5 different guys. very classy." and "One minute you're strutting your stuff, the next minute you're rolling on the ground, and you can't seem to remember the transition."

Not everyone finds the site amusing, however. In a Daily Mail article Frank Soodeen, spokesman for Alcohol Concern said Facebook was "symptomatic of the culture of acceptability around drunkenness."

As if a group featuring the girls was't enough there's also a similar group for the guys.

A Facebook account is needed to visit or join the "30 Reasons Girls Should Call it a Night" group.

    hai how are you

  • the new age3/13/2008

    u all crack me up...actin like it is such a big deal to get drunk and pass out...go watch ur life go bye...but leave the people that like to get out and live alone

    I think the group is hysterical. To those of you sitting there bashing people who actually live like this, need to lighten up a bit. Think about it..yea, maybe some of these actions can be regretful or embarassing, but if over 160,000 people have joined , and there are over 4,000 pictures, apparently its a common thing. I'm sure half of you bashing on the occasional drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and enjoying acting like a complete idiot, probably spent most of high school playing pokemon and trying to crack the latest iphone code. Lighten up people, believe it or not its a good way of releasing stress. So put down your iphone and pick up a drink, call up a friend and enjoy a night of your life. : )

    ha, did none of you live? are you really bagging out the group when you would be guilty for at least one of the above?

  • Donna Porter11/15/2007

    Wouldn't want to be them and be haunted by the likes of this in the future (kids, career etc.)

  • Vonnie Chestnut11/13/2007

    I would think it would be embarassing for some of those whose pictures are shown, and probably would get some into big trouble

    Well-written article...but so sad. What does this say about our culture that people resort to this for attention, not to mention the fact that they are destroying themselves.

  • jcorn11/12/2007

    Oh, sad! Excellently researched and written but the photos are haunting.

  • Hartley Engel11/12/2007

    It's a shame that such a group exists.

    It's sad to see what girls lower themselves to to try and be "the hot chick" or get all the attention. Sad and dangerous.
