donna, you and I are rare. For whatever reason, it is totally acceptable for adults to act like complete fools, to hit on the wives of others, to say inappropriate things in front of children and to make fools of themselves if it is only because of drinking. I'm fine if somebody has a beer or two and is sober, but it seems that many adults really enjoy these drinking parties and excuse the behavior. And then they get ticked off if their kids act giggly and silly on pot or something else. I have been around pot smokers. Yes, they are boring, but I think drunks are worse. Give me a choice by putting a gun to my head (because I'd rather be around the sober) and I will pick the pot smokers. At least they are not loud, obnoxious and/or sexually inappropriate.
Wisconsin is the second largest drinking state in the country. I believe only Massachusetts has more drinkers. I shudder thinking about those who drink and hunt (it's also a hunting state).
I just don't get the fun of it. If I did, maybe I'd understand the "fun" of illegal drug use. To me, the only difference is that one is legal and one isn't. Maybe there should be a separate thread on this
