Fishingfool - I read the posts you speak of. For the most part they appear in a light hearted thread. Your responses to the question 'what are your eating/drinking' are obviously made in honesty and I certainly don't read into them an intent to impress or wow us. It is just you being you - or so I think. I have never thought, 'this person drinks too much'. You haven't queried or suggested this elsewhere. I admit I myself have occasionally thought, 'gee that would hit the spot right now' but have never felt they infer I do more.

There are those I imagine who get a twinge of guilt or envy when reading this. But, there is a whole lot more in these threads that trigger difficult feelings and responses.

Go on, please do.

(Incidentally, I am a retired sailor and in my day the two seemed to go hand in hand. In fact, during my time in the ranks, there was still on the books the ration of one tot a day)
