I would never ever drink lite beer.

Perhaps you are too far away from the affluent east to have the costuming thing.

Once the renn faires kept to period costume. It was great. Now they just want money so have let the standards go it is pure masquerade
pirates- dr. who- whatever.....

When I attended sessions at folk clubs in the uk including great Northumbrian pipe sessions in working mans clubs in newcastle no one, absolutely no one was dinking moderately- ever. And they could smoke too.

and they did that in extreme which was good.

Overalls are my american national costume rather them than kilts.

Never drunk and disorderly, never been tossed out of any place, never in a fight. Just a well trained drinker.
