Well I had relatives who destroyed their lives with alcohol so I look at it a little differently, and I have a friend who's oldest daughter has spent the last several years going to doctors repairing damage inflicted by a drunk driver.

Yes I've also had friends who drank themselves out of this world way too early, but that takes years of daily abuse... this really was just a wild night that probably wouldn't even register as wild in comparison to the 70s / 80s rock'n'roll excesses... a wild night for us is just a quiet night in for someone like Keith Richards :)

The only thing more painfully boring and unfunny than a drunk person is a group of drunk people. And I personally don't care if someone drinks until their liver explodes, because it's not the act of drinking that's the problem...it's the TALKING. God almighty, please just be quiet...

Here’s a pro life tip. Worry about your own behavior, not other Adults enjoying themselves.

That's fine--until your adult enjoyment affects mine. It's like smoking: I don't care if you smoke 10 cigarettes at a time, just don't let your smoke go up my nose. You want to blast music at 2:00 a.m.? Great! Just don't let it reach my eardrums. That's just basic consideration, which you're supposed to learn when you're like 10...

It's about being an adult and facing consequences...

If you're too drunk and disturb all the people when you're partying..don't complain when you have a hangover and other people actions disturb you...

I didn't see anywhere that others were infringed upon.

Just so everyone knows, the wild middle-aged drinking session was in self-contained accommodation and did not feature any music, any smoking, or any other inconsiderate behaviour. In fact it was so tame by the standards of my 20s that I think we should have tried a lot harder... it's amusing how little you have to overdo it when yer old to feel like you've been partying for days :)
