Having just come from my nephew's wedding, this has been a fun thread. There were 'class' issues there as well, but societal ones.
'I went to a wedding reception where people drank a lot.'
You wouldn't invite me anyway, but I send my 'regrets' if there's not lots of drinking at your wedding reception.
Drunken behaviour will not be tolerated at my wedding. That's what I was getting at. The people giving the wedding made no effort to control their guests' guzzling of adult beverages.
