Yeah, I dont exactly understand the way things are in this country. When I was driving through Italy and France, I would stop at a rest area. Over there, they are really nice and have a little restaurant with a salad bar. I will never forget the day, at about 11am when I looked around at the other tables, and realized that every other table had a carraf of wine on it! I then watched many, many middle aged and elderly people- who looked perfectly responsible- drink their wine, and then go get in their cars and go speeding down the highway! I suppose this changed my viewpoint on alchohol, and legislating it, forever. I have a teenager in the house, so I'll just try and abide by the rules imposed on our household here, but they do seem a bit arbitrary.
