    A Deputy Prime Minister is not getting drunk in public that's it, if he does he is not fit for the job, fire the guy since a person in this position is always on duty when in public this cant be partitioned.

    All in this respected BP forum know that i am 100% backing Mr Chalerms crusade on ya baa and that people who are involved in this trade get iced.
    However it seems that the stress surrounding this tuff job is getting the upperhand in his public appearences, private or not, location certainly inapropriate (muslim country) getting drunk in full view of the public, is "not done" for a public figure as himself.
    So my conclusion/advise would be
    Please keep up the good job your doing in hunting down drug crooks, BUT
    overstressed.......nearest temple and a good meditation will do the trick.
    Boozing = loosing!
