Of course, "lots of tequilla" isn't appropriate since a rowdy campsite isn't fun for anyone except the drunks and certainly doesn't set any example for the kiddos.
By the way, for reference, I pretty much don't drink anymore nor was I a hard core drinker ever. If I have 2 beers or 2 drinks these days, that's a big night! Much more than that hurts too much nowadays.

That's great. The point is, if you show up drinking and act a fool, we will send your butt home.
