I'm sorry Bexxed - sounds like there's a lot of 'away from home drinking' going on.
I'm glad that my life is pretty regimented and the only static I get is from musos who don't know me.
Like you I couldn't give two hoots what people think and the whole scene sounds ridiculous - but it's still a pain in the butt to have to deal with from 'adult' type people.
