People who drink excessively and act stupid. There is nothing more revolting in life than having to talk to, listen and see a person who is drunk. I grew up on a small native reserve where certain individuals liked to drink and cause trouble for everyone. Summers were really bad because it was wedding season. Once I witnessed a bad fight that occurred in front of our house. Of course it happened the morning after a wedding. It was also normal to find empty Crown Royal bottles on the streets.

The awful behavior committed by certain community members deeply affected me even though I did not grow up in a drinking family. My parents tried to keep us away but it was impossible since the town was so small.
