i commend him on this because hes not after all beer drinkers he agrees a beer every now and then is fine

if i had something in my life id be ape crap about it my hats off to him

I went and read the story. I am with you, my hat is off to him. While growing up my step-father was an alchoholic and very abusive. I to this day cannot tolerate being around alcohol or drunk people, brings the childhood back. I also nearly lost my nephew, who is like my little brother to a drunk driver. He survived but has physical problems in his knees. I am glad to see people stand up for what they beleive in at any cost.
