Who says you can't party in period? Some of my best Persona play has 
been under the influence of alcohol. Have you ever been to the Royal 
Swan Tavern? Ever been to Pennsic? I have guzzled mead and shouted war 
poetry at comrades in arms on the eve of battle. I have played chess 
and spoken riddles with slurred speech, the ale making my chess moves 
bolder and somewhat foolhardy. I have toasted my King in a feast hall 
full of freinds. Face it, good gentles, alcohol is period. 
Also. Who says that people on computer lists don't party? Has anybody 
told Cynric? Or Mordraut? Or Keif? to name a few. If to be on this 
mailing list means I can't party, I guess I'll need to cancel my 
subscription. :)
