Some of my most despicable moments flitted through my head as I read this thread, dreadful behaviour all because I felt it was my right to drink and not have to deal with the consequences.
I'm very quick to bow out of social occasions where drinking has become the main focus and once those around me are intoxicated I may joke about their behaviour but I'm very keen to leave just in case it turns ugly!
I've been playing 'spot the alky' on my social forays... Not too hard to do at the latest family reunion; my Aunt in a wheelchair, still sipping gently at her 1/2 pint when we all know it was her daily diet of vodka that gave her the chair.
I am so pleased I never have to worry about such things again.
Great topic
