I guess I am going to have to pay back karmically for my drunken days! I don't drink much anymore and loud drunks drive me insane! But as a former big drinker I figure it is my lot to deal with.

Have never met you TW, but my guess is that you were not that guy "look at me, look at me". Big difference between the drunk that everyone knows to stay away from because he is, well drunk, and the guy that stands on the bar at HDR and yells he can buy any woman in this place. Paraphrasing of course, but we have all seen the guy that just HAS to be heard.
Nothing yells out "I need to be seen, I have never been ANYWHERE in my life" more than "that guy" at HDR. Funny how I have never seen that guy at SL. Seen MANY drunk there, ME included!!!
Loud drunks have always drove me insane, if I was drunk, or sober.
