Or, it could be the fact that the things you are describing are not immoral, and you have still failed to explain why they are. You're the one making excuses for yourself here, putting up boundaries at arbitrary points to conveniently coincide with how YOU use alcohol and sex.
So tell me why it's more moral to have sex with your girlfriend than with multiple people? I live a pretty hedonistic lifestyle, I like to get drunk on the weekends and I have slept with a lot of women and intend to sleep with many more. Why? Because it's fun and enjoyable, and I like doing it. So why don't you tell me what exactly it is about my actions that is immoral? I'm not harming anyone else.
The only time I really think actions become immoral is when they affect the well being of somebody else and cause them pain. That's why homophobia is immoral, and racism, but not pre-marital sex. That's why you can drink yourself into a stupor every day for all I care, but your example (which moved the goalposts, by the way) of vomiting on someone's car and yelling at the top of your lungs walking down the street is wrong. If your fuckhead mates can't control themselves when under the influence, they are liable to be arrested for their actions. It has nothing to do with the act of drinking.
I have provided you with countless examples of why the nostalgia for the 50s is bullshit, as have other people. If you're going to just stick your head in the sand and say 'I still think there's something to it' then fine. Then in your opinion, things have been getting steadily worse FOREVER, the first ever society was the best one. Also, music ain't what it used to be, sportsmen used to have more honour, and they don't make films like that any more. It's absolutely idiotic, of course, but you stick with it despite the mountain of reason against it. Nice job.
One more time: THE REASON FOR THE PERCEPTION IS PEOPLES' NOSTALGIA FOR THINGS THEY REMEMBER. What could be simpler than that?
