I don't see anyone here saying that the Booze Police ought to be called in to control performers... I see people saying the truth of what they know from their own experience with The Beast. The Beast is the dysfunctionality and pseudo-reality that goes with abused substances.

Bonnie's opening post was general enough to have allowed people to say what they thought needed to be said on this subject. I don't see that anyone's post has been inappropriate to her opening thoughts. In fact this has had, I think, ZERO thread creep. It's been a fine discussion with good attention to the topic itself.
