It should never have been started. These guys were doing nothing wrong.

So, having a few drinks is a disgrace. But, over eating and being a couch potato is not talked about. The second item causes more death and illness than the first.

There is nothing in the story to indicate that these guys are haming a single sole. Those that choose to shame them are themselves being shameful.

But it's OK to attack the people in the Daily Sun article for having some fun?

Studies show getting out and socializing with friends is very important to one's overall health. Those guys meeting up with friends and having a drink or two and enjoying the companionship are benefitting from the experience. Good for them.

Respectfully I have to disagree with you on this one.

I took a look at the article and all I saw were 4 men
who looked like very nice guys socializing with each other.

Maybe these guys meet the next morning and go to one of the 19 AA meetings each week in TV.
