BTW, I and a friend played our guitars at the funerals, both of old friends of ours, and drank beer while we were doing it. No one objected as everyone knew the deceased wouldn't either.

I highly recommend it, along with a glass of good whiskey. In fact some of my friends have specified it in their last wishes. I was simply asking for clarification as to which of the acts (drinking and or fighting) you had engaged in at the same funeral.

OTOH, I have found that some people do see it in bad taste to drink at the funeral of someone who has been killed by a drunk or died of cirrhosis of the liver.
