There are only a handful of occasions when it becomes socially acceptable for a man to dress as a woman, each involves alcohol.
The most common instance comes in the form of a drunken fraternity kegger where pledges are marched out one by one to subject themselves to one of the many demeaning acts of hazing.
The second most frequent occasion occurs often while in a drunken haze, where several close friends and confidants, either by force or through the playground trump card that is the double dare, convinces someone that it is in their best interest to put on their mother?s cocktail dress from the early 70?s.
The final and likely most offensive occasion comes in the form of modern cinema, where in films such as Some Like It Hot, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Tootsie, prolific actors dawn the dress, simply for a cheap laugh. But, why the alcohol? Because, you?d have to be drunk to find Robin Williams funny on any level.
