I do agree with GaryW: Drunk is drunk, rudeness is rudeness, irresponsible acts are irresponsible etc., no matter who does them, or how old you are or where you are! That's the real problem! No excuses for bad or dumb behavior.
The Villages will soon be a very large city with 100,000 residents and three town squares which are open to the public. There are many restaurants that offer Happy Hours, as do the Town Squares. My point is that drinking is a "way of life" for many people in TV. And there are many young people on the wait staffs of all the bars and restaurants.

Whatever age, it is up to us all to act responsibly, and take care of each other.
