Growing up wishing we were adults with responsibilities has finally come back around to kick us in the ass. Hey, you know what they say: Be careful what you wish for!

Hangovers become harder and harder to shake.

Every weekend begins with immense hope but eventually boils down to the same crap you always do.

Forget drugs. Here's your brain on adulthood:
