[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 532520, member: 1550"] Hi all. Interesting perspectives. Terry, I do NOT want to go to drinking parties. I have a problem watching drunk people acting, well, silly...like talking too much about their sex lives (too much information) or coming onto other people's husbands or ending up with a face in the toilet. Since I don't drink, I just wanted to know what others thought. From my way of looking at things, I don't see why anybody would ever want to get drunk and deal with the possible embarassing behaviors and the hangovers and it puzzles me why some people think going out is only fun if one drinks. I'm boring...so is hub...if we go out, it's for coffee :) This person I mention has a boyfriend who gets very depressed after he has been drinking and does not remember everything he says when he has been drinking, but he has gone for periods of time without drinking at all. My friend encourages his drinking because she likes to drink. It makes me wonder if both have a problem. But maybe it's me and my bias against drinking (not that I think it's the worst thing...just that I never saw the point). Also, if we drink, and then get angry at our kids for doing drugs, especially pot, are we being hypocrites? I think about this a lot lately because every time friend tells me she has said/done/acted in a stupid way or her boyfriend has, they have been drinking. I don't think they have ever been together and not drank. Yet when boyfriend's kid was caught with pot, he flipped. [/QUOTE]
