I would have paid good money to see Nelson’s crews being offered non-alcoholic drink before the Battles of the Nile and Trafalgar. It would have been Nelson swinging from the yard arm. Why can’t ”The Media” have a good time without alcohol? They can. Some even do. It’s a free society. I’ve seen
some make dicks of themselves and they were stone-cold sober. It’s choice, an oddity of our society these days when even a conference or day seminar is hobbled by woke numb-nuts wanting to change societal habits, particularly when the it’s the individual’s choice. Make non-alcoholic beverages available by all means, alongside the devil’s preference, but for goodness sake don’t go on about it.
If you don’t like it, or have a problem with it, don’t spoil other people’s fun. Just leave it alone and nominate for a board director’s role at the Temperance Society.
Thanks for the comment Alan.
On your final point, the more the industry makes it easy for somebody to make that choice without needing to go out of their way, the less anyone needs to go on about it. A win for everyone!
Cheers – Tim
Agreed. As long as there’s no pressure on either side of this equation, there should be no need to remark upon it again. Those that want to, will. Those that don’t want to, won’t.
Both without the need for sideways glances.
