Any occassion, easy persuasion,
Bermudians love to drink!!
More than any other cause, I do believe alcohol and its ramifications, are the root of our present ills, but nobody wants to hear this.
@Can’t Take It Anymore…. Do your drinking at home or get a taxi – if you intend to “celebrate” in a club, pub, restaurant etc!!! There are other road users who expect to NOT have to deal with *drunk drivers* while they go about their business!!!
