Okay, so I'm putting my mother hen apron, here, but... meh. I kind of find myself growing uneasy with all the drinking.

I mean, people are making a big deal ("So, this is the first awards ceremony you've been drinking at...") and it's not like it's just occasionally. It's like every time we see him, now.

Someone is being a bad influence, I feel.

Im just kind of curious here, not trying to knock anyone. But how do people know a lot of this? Obviously you saw Travie, but the Ashlee and champagne thing? And someone down there said Joe is drinking heavily. ANd as much as I enjoyed seing Patrick "drunk" for someone who has gone from not drinking at all I dont think it would take that much. Maybe it was more of an accident? IDK, mainly the point of this is wondering how people know all this stuff?

Because if we haven't seen it, other fans have seen it - I talked to someone who saw the Champagne Incident first hand and it was also reported in a gossip column a couple of days later, if I remember correctly; I saw Travie off his tits by early afternoon in Edinburg and at Decaydance he drank 3/4 of a litre of vodka during their set.

Joe has never been edge, to the best of my knowledge, but he's a stoner not a big drinker. I haven't seen him drunk myself, but what I was saying was that if these guys are drinking more even than Joe, that seems kind of weird.

When you've been in fandom a while, you just get into networks of communication, really.

I drink. Possibly more than I should... However, even I was shocked to see Travis stand on stage in front of an audience consisting of mostly underage girls and down a bottle of vodka.

Out of respect for the people I was with that day, I didn't drink at all. I don't get bladdered on a school night, because I have a job to do that I can't do with a hangover. If I started drinking to that degree on my job I'd be fired. I don't get how being a musician makes any difference. A few beers as a musician, fine. I used to have a pint at lunch time on a Friday at my old OLD job. Downing vodka like that, particularly in front of teenagers who look up to you, is irresponsible.

We saw a girl of,what, 12? Rosie? Trying to sneak vodka into the show. She's going to see someone like Travis and think 'cool'. Travis was so hammered in London, he was walking around the streets staggering. In Edinburgh, he could hardly walk. Pete even said he'd been passed out the majority of the day.

Patrick.. I don't know that much about. He doesn't look drunkard to me. Tipsy, maybe but drunkard no. Pete and Ashleee.. well. I have my own opinions about the Simpson sisters which go back several years and they creep me the hell out. That opinion has been around since before I even knew who Pete Wentz was.

She was about twelve. Smoking. Smuggling alcohol. Covered in felt-tip pen ink where she and her friends had been stamping each other's faces green and purple.

We saw her carried out halfway through.

I'm not the preachy kind of edge - I used to drink on occasion, albeit very rarely - but I'm not into substances or being drunk just because I don't like it or feel drawn to it.

It worries me to see people I like and respect, and believe to be smart enough to know better, potentially damaging their health.
