One thing that unnamed forum got me accustomed to was being ridiculed anytime disagreed. NOT COMMENTS SAYING WHY THEY DISAGREED, just ridicule as it appears is the case here.
The mocking tones, etc are not something I have experienced as a grownup. We all have likes and dislikes, and I always assumed they would be respected...it appears on here that is not the case.
I only commented because I lost someone to a person who simply had that "few drinks" and was not drunk. I have seen the ravages of homes destroyed by those few drinks to take off the edge in a few roles I served in up north. I have seen those fun evenings that require booze to enjoy turn into death and destruction.
I never suggested people should stop drinking.....never even hinted at it. Simply agreed with some other posters about making light of drinking, and suddenly I am on a soapbox.
I sure wish I had all the answers to everything as espoused by some who do not even disagree as adults, but simply ridicule.
