With all due respect Skybird... No that is not the question... its your question... mine is up there in your quote box. THAT is the question. But do feel free to ask your own I mean sure... but don't correct mine... because I was perfectly happy with my question just as it was.

Im saying, AL and co want to flog drunks and cut hands off and all that... Im not a big fan of drunks and layabouts and especially drunk drivers myself... but god in heaven I certainly cannot criticise anybody for liking a dirink which seems to be the implications I get from there. If any of them have been drunk and I suspect the odds of that are near to certain so its a bit rich to say things like they have. If not and they have indeed spent a life of total sobriety, I apologise in advance.

If they were joking then god... talk about bad taste. As my brother said earlier on this thread... poor driving, whether caused by not concentrating or simple alcohol abuse, can be devastating to individuals and to family's.

Penny, you took them seriously? TteFAboB started it with a joke about becoming Muslim, the rest just went with it. No one really wants to cut of hands...I...hope. :hmm: Anyway, I like to put a few away once in awhile...not get sloshed as that's no fun anymore. Honeslty though, so many people can't walk when they drink, why do they think they can drive a car???

Sometimes I'd like to cut off the hands of forum posters who take ridiculous things seriously.

For the record, I've never been drunk. My parents taught me better. I will occassionally get slightly tipsy if I enjoy a glass of wine before eating something. Then I usually start bursting out in giggles. Envision the All in The Family episode when Edith went out to a "classy" restaurant and enjoyed the wine.

My husband, and now my older boys, get drunk exactly once a year, on the Jewish holiday of Purim. Here's why (and how), though I think the article uses Hebrew and Jewish terminology that needs to be understood as a prerequisite.

Otherwise, Judaism frowns upon excess drinking, as it does upon anything that is permissable but is done in excess.

And now.......................... back to our show!
