Seems a lotta people talk crap these days just to provoke someone else, and when they're drunk it becomes even more noxious.

I've found it's usually best to just respond: "sound serious, good luck!" as it gives the less-than-well-meaning the impression they've scored the point they're so desperately searching for, and life goes on within us and without us.
