Be not drunk with wine, be instead filled with the Holy Spirit, and controlled by Him!

Funny you should mention that. Tonight in the town where I live is the Feast of St John. It is the only night of the year people are allowed to make fires on the beach and camp out overnight. As I write this the beach is getting packed with tents and people for as far as I can see. The festival started out years ago as a solemn event to commemorate John the Baptist and people would stay up all night to "baptize" themselves in the waters of the Mediterranean. Now it has devolved into a night of massive partying, massive binge drinking and a massive mess to clean up on Monday. We just came back from a walk to see how things were shaping up. Later on after dark we might go for another walk to watch the parties but we aren't into passing out in a stupor on the sand.
