I went to C of E midnight mass once, and I was the least drunk person in the place. I think everyone came straight from the pub.
I'll save my prohibitionist ranting, as I'm already sad enough the space thread became a booze thread from my own instigation.
I will say this much - I got a good kick out of finally watching the Hostages pilot episode today. Dad/Coach rips Sonny Boy a new one for his collection towards "alcohol/beer and fake IDs."
Non-drinker I am, I made a point to look - sure enough, during that very freaking scene and speech, daddy dearest is drinking... a beer.
My point, and I actually do have one on this topic this time, is we've got some crazy views with alcohol in this country. Do as I say, not as I do to the extreme - Booze is evil, except in Church its Christ's blood! Partay time! Don't you dare drink, but if you're 21... partay time! The world would be such a better place if people stopped telling other people how to live.
