[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 487552, member: 11791"] Nancy - in our home, alcohol doesn't exist, never has - its part of the life we choose to live. But... your statement about society revolving around alcohol really strikes a chord. For us, its not because of addiction. But it doesn't really make it any easier. Staff meetings - held at a bar. Staff functions - not starting until 8 pm, because there's no point in serving supper, everyone just wants the party. Every celebration, every event... it seems its all about alcohol. Until... we really don't even want to be "out there" any more. Prohibition doesn't work. But back in those days, social life was an afternoon thing - "come for tea" - or mid-morning/early-evening - "come for coffee"... everybody was home by "sundown". The discussions were more intellegent, the relationships were real... Now? its hard to find people who want intellegent conversations and real relationships. [/QUOTE]
