Normally, jmuzz, I do agree

Normally, jmuzz, I do agree with what you say, but I think this post was a bit off.
Earlier it was stated that this is the first year that this has happened. I went to the Finleys in both 2008 and 2009 and both times it was at the same venue and both times, downstairs closed after intermission. Both times, I even asked after the show if I could buy anything non alcoholic and was told no, downstairs was shut. I appreciate that Kimberley addressed that point and said some people were given water, I'm just saying that not everyone was. So this isn't an isolated event with teething issues, it's happened 2 years that I know of, but as I didn't attend the Finleys previously can't say how long it has happened for.
I could definitely understand it being the other way around and only serving non-alcoholic beverages after intermission, but you must admit that being unable to buy only alcohol around the time when everyone is driving home, is a bit strange.
However, please don't think I'm kicking up a fuss and looking up various authorities to report this to - I'm not. I just got the impression from your post that you think all us non-drinkers are self-righteous and whiny. We're not all like that. And I can firmly get on board with the idea that this is only the 2nd year it's happened, and the first time no one spoke up, but now someone has everyone else is jumping on the bandwagon going "yeah our rights are surely being impinged upon somehow!" (this message board surely doesn't seem to bring out the best in people) and I'm confident that now it's been mentioned, it'll change.
This is a very verbose way of saying: It's happened more than has been mentioned, even though I'm discussing it I'm not complaining, hoping it gets sorted next year, please don't hate all us non-drinkers.
