#1, recollections are generally hazy of any such activities.
#2, are you really comparing drunken shenanigans to nearly all smoker's general practice, at all times, of throwing their litter on the ground without a second thought?
I agree with you, but two different issues. If someone was walking down M street and just threw an entire bag of McDonalds trash on the ground, someone (hopefully) would say something and, if a cop was around, they'd get stopped. Not so with cig butts. McDonalds doesn't make **** biodegradable for litterers, they make it like that because it ends up in landfills or in the ocean even when it is thrown away properly.
