If that's the case, then you 1) replied to the wrong post, and 2) were clear
as mud.

You're not very good at this, are you? Have you considered taking a remedial
Conversational English course?

You can disagree all you want. Musicians who drink while performing are
unprofessional. Spit out all the names you want. You have no solid proof,
and keep citing examples of shows and guitarists that you have no personal
insight to. Your argument is elementary at best.

Go have another beer.
