You're experience is wrong. My wife never has more than one drink. I usually don't have more than 2. I enjoy the taste of good beer and wine. I maybe have a beer or two once every couple of weeks. So I am definately not "addicted".
On the Dis this week they were talking about locals who get drunk in the parking lot before going into the parks.And let alone even think of exploring why a person is doing these things... But, that's getting into new addiction psychological research which is for another time and board!
My heart always aches when I see this, because I know it's a person dealing with something inside. Not AT ALL suggesting she have anything but 100% responsibility for her actions. Those choices have consequences and should. I just hope it's an opportunity for her to re-evaluate whatever is going on in her life. We all make mistakes and should learn from them. And, we all deserve understanding and forgiveness. But, we also must all live with the consequences of the actions we took.
I will say, I think Disney does a pretty good job overall with the serving and the crowds. Maybe a little less at F&W since the kiosk staff is less trained on spotting intoxication vs. a traditional bartender. But, I've seen people cut off, cast doing a wonderful job of de-escalating a situation and talking someone down, etc. Not that this directly impacts this story. But, I wanted to at least point that out so we don't trend into a "Disney cast member should have stopped this" type discussion.
Now where's my beer...
It really doesn't. If I drink 2 mixed drinks in less than 2 hours, I'll have gotten a decent buzz on and will need to pace myself or I'll just want to go back to the resort and nap.
I only barely knew Pleasure Island as it was already closing down on my first trip to WDW, but I agree, try to get some of the heavier drinking issues out of the parks and more contained in DS (in a part of DS, not all of DS) is a good idea in general. A drinking honeypot on property.
Honest question from someone who doesn't go to the parks nearly as often as I would like. The article said she was "unsteady on her feet." If she had been drunk to that point before entering, would security have let her in?
You sound like Iger at the next shareholders meeting.
I get the feeling Dorian will be blamed for many things. Might as well take a shot every time he mentions it. Wait, on second thought, that would probly send us to the E.R.
Youre saying that every person who enjoys drinking becomes intolerable every time they drink? And that every person who drinks says, "its not me, Im responsible"? And that anybody who drinks has a problem with consumption?
