blathin: wow..that's the kind of thing that was said years ago in Ireland when someone spoke up about something....and see where that got us!
He is NOT responsible for, or has any control over, other people's nastiness Butterfly girl..
To be honest Blathin. I could be wrong but I don't think that Butterfly girl was trying to be nasty. Pedro put up a thread re drinking then driving to get more beer. Yes! he could have said it in jest but people took it to heart. Instead of just letting the thread die a death. Pedro has now come up with "this thread" re people thinking he's an alcoholic. I just don't understand why he would do another thread re drinking?
I'm sure many people like to have a drink. I love my afternoons out with friends, in the sun /shade as it's hot right now. I enjoy my glass of rose wine with casera (it's a bit like lemonade but not as sweet and no sugar) and a bottle of sparkling water. I don't drive now but when I did, I would have a non alcoholic bottle of beer with casera. I didn't want any alcohol in my system at all if I was driving and you know what it's like on here. People pick up on everything, even though they don't know you personally.
