As an "old" democrat, I am certainly happy to see a commitment to democracy in young people, but I must take issue with the name of their upcoming event, "Drinking Liberally." At a time when we are trying to stem the use of drugs and alcohol in young and old people alike, naming their event as such shows a lack of maturity and relays an image of a bunch of drunk, rousing frat boys. I would hope that they are more serious in their political representation. If this group is just a social organization, I would ask that they remove "Democrats" from their name to avoid tainting the rest of us.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
