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.

it concerns me in the sense that pete use to claim edge and patrick just didn't drink. now panic drinks as well and the one that surprised me most was ryan because of the background his father had with drinking. they're definitely all adults but the reason ryan didn't go to the kerrang awards was because he was hungover is what i've heard. pete carries lighters now, i really hope it's not for smoking though. regardless, he's definitely more open about the fact that he drinks. it bugs me because that's far from the people they use to be. i think the break they'll have after this upcoming tour will do them all good and hopefully they can stay away from the lime light because i think that's the biggest influence though ashlee is a close second.

My husband's father drank a lot and it profoundly affected his youngest son, my brother-in-law. He didn't drink at all during childhood, which in the UK is pretty random. He didn't drink till he hit 21/22.

Now, when he's out he'll have a drink. Not to the point of drunk, but to the point of merry. He doesn't randomly drink though.

This is a boy who at 18 swore he'd never drink.

People change, they grow up. They realise that what they thought at 17 isn't the person they are now. However, in the case of my b-i-l, they stay very aware of the dangers of drink and keep themselves in check on how much they do consume.

I'm not saying he's exactly like Ryan, I'm just sharing a personal experience with you.

no, i understand people change but his dad died due to alocohol and it caused a lot of trouble between them while he was growing up. people that have talked to ryan through AIM before they got big or even those that still keep in casual contact with him tell me about he never wanted to be his dad and that's one of the reasons he wouldn't drink. ryan is of age so i don't think a drink here and there is wrong. drinking helps people unwind and feel loose sometimes, drinking to the point of feeling merry or doing it casually is nothing wrong in my eyes, i'm just saying that the fact he got hammered and has been drinking more is what surprises me given what he's gone through. people are different though and ryan has grown up so what he said years ago may not hold what it does to him now. it's his life and he's old enough to make his own decisions it just had me a bit shocked is all.
