So, for the most part it has been a non-issue. I've seen people who were inebriated at events that I've gone to out of state. I don't care as long as they are not the kind of folks who get violent or verbally obnoxious when they've had too much. If they do they can make things uncomfortable for everyone.

On one hand, I agree. If people can drink responsibly, not be obnoxious or violent, then to each his own...
On the other hand, cars and alcohol don't go together, so what kind of message is it sending - especially to kids who attend shows or other car events - for the participants to be drinking??
