I find that FOLK festivals, when wet, attract the least amount of obnoxious drunkenness, while having the same amount of just plain drunks. However, all types of music, I think, ought to be accompanied by the possibility of alcohol (since nothing else intoxicating is legal). But then again, I think most things should be accompanied by the possibility of intoxicants at some point or another. The trick is for the intoxicant to be an accompaniment, not the main attraction, and for its consumption to be voluntary. I also find that at folk festivals, there is less Oh come on have a drink! than there is at other kinds of musical events. Folks sem to respect people, quoi, even in their cups.
