Always drink posts on here.
Currently 2 posts about mums drinking at school pick up time or similar. Shall I judge a mum that smells of drink?
The other day on here did you watch the programme about binge drinking?

Out of the hundreds of channels we have got and all the entertainment why would I watch that?
Númerous other posts about people drinking too much?
It's horrible. Why do people want to keep drinking and running there's and others people's lives? Get a life that dosent involve 🙄keep getting pissed.

Nobody says did you see David Attenborough a lovely programme about nature or something similar?
Just did anyone watch binge drinking wonderful not.

You do sound like you’ve had one too many. I can’t work out, are you for or against drinking?

Because a lot of people drink to excess in ways that harm their mental and physical health and their relationships with others.

So you think nobody should drink , or just nobody should talk about drinking ?

I did watch David Attenboroughs Wild Isle , it's about the UK coastline ( I think that's what it was called) on bbc iplayer last week , I was very good I highly recommend it

You think that a binge drinking programme is the only tv programme people talk about? Confused Besides, it seems a bit odd to on the one hand criticise people for having a drinking lifestyle and on the other hand criticise people for watching a documentary raising awareness of the problem, which might encourage them to stop!

Definitely a drunk post. 🫢

Your post is a bit all over the place. Agree, not the most sober post I’ve read.

HowardTJMoon · 01/12/2024 14:21

Out of the hundreds of threads over the last week, maybe three have been as you describe. Why do those threads stand out to you?

Sorry but it honestly sounds like you’ve had a couple yourself reading that 🤣

😆 sorry OP but I have to agree!

ApolloandDaphne · 01/12/2024 14:20

Some people drink to excess and cause issues but many just enjoy a social drink and never have any issues. If you choose not to drink that is fine. I assume no-one is forcing you to?
