I've met a few people do the over emphasis on the " I don't drink". A lot of the time it seems to be for general health reasons - guidelines they think everyone should follow. But , that just maybe the people AI have met.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
DH doesn't watch much television. In fact, I might be a bad influence in that way . I think it is rude to ask why he doesn't watch Tv as if he had violated some major social rule. And TV isn't fraught like drinking is
Heh. Although I do feel judged when people don't watch TV. Or at least when they declare that fact in a proud, morally superior fashion.
There was a time in my adult life that I thought it odd and worrisome if someone drank every day.
I give all of you license to grill my sister on why she doesn't eat any of the things she doesn't eat, or drink what she doesn't drink, or watch any of the things she doesn't watch. Because it's comedy gold, mostly.
It's possible I've passed out of any protective big-sister phase I was ever in.
Usually when people do the "I don't watch TV! It's all crap that rots your brain!" I roll my eyes, and pity them a little for never having seen Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Profit or any of the other truly good shows out there. And then I take a swig of my third scotch for the day and puff on my smoke.

yeah I feel judged, but am ok with it since I am fairly certain I am being judged by a pompous ass. But I've been told I have an overly healthy sense of my own awesomeness.
t loves Daisy Jane
Speaking of drinking, sort of, we have a neighborhood bar, like walk to it neighborhood. Mr. Jane was up there last night when he got off work, and our regular bartender had a large bloodstain on his pant leg.
Apparently, some guy came in, started throwing barstools over the bar at Steve (the bartender). Steve had already called the cops, but the guy had walked out. Jon went to find him for when the cops came, but he had caused a ruckus at some bars on the strip, so they knew right where he was.
Jon said when they hauled him out he was yelling, "You a cop? I fucked your wife! I fucked your girlfriend! I fucked your mother!" Then they searched him (took a while to get him on the hood of the car), and found e in his front pocket, and he said "I have blow in my back pocket!" which they found.
He then iced the shit cake by spitting in the officer's face.
omg y'all I'm watching the last Leverage available! I expect withdrawl.
All I can add to this discussion is I had way the hell too much to drink Saturday. It didn't seem like it at the time, then it hit like a freight train. I try avoiding that...
