I haven't read the article, but relate to this.
DD is 17. I'm 60. I used to be able to enjoy a cigar or two on Christmas but no chance of that now!
Alcohol at Christmas? Bugger that! It isn't worth the judgemental stares.

Really!
Sparkling Thank you for that extremely succinct message; it's very original! 
, although "eh!" would be more succincter, but less posh.!
Reading between the lines I'd say that you really don't believe me, but it's true You are obviouly a sceptic so you might be interested in the following URL; my Christmas gift to you! Understanding what satire is is also a useful gift, wouldn't you agree?

OoRoo and Merry Christmas, 
A recent article in my favourite UK mag. (The Oldie) tells me that "assaults by pensioners on people who have told them to act 'responsibly' have reached a peak.
Britain could be engulfed in a tsunami of ominous predictions.before the end of the 2030s, leading to a dangerous increase in levels of anxiety.
Experts at the Institute of Possible Outcomes estimate that 81% of today's primary school children will, in 20 years' time be employed in some form of foreboding activity.
Apparently. there are calls for the Govt. to appoint a Minister for Nonchalance to introduce measures to lower awareness. and limit the number of predictions issued.
Isn't that shocking!? What is the country coming to!?
Drink up and "drink responsibly"
