No, not a kill-joy. Just sensible. Years ago we had to rush a friend to
hospital - it was his 21st birthday and at the party some of his
"friends" mixed him a "cocktail" of all sorts of alcoholic drinks and
"encouraged" him to down it. He collapsed - and when we got him to
hospital they had to pump his stomach... the medic gave these so-called
friends a real telling-off and said they might have killed him...
