It was at this point that I thought Johnny199r was sunk:

No congrats? No honouring?
You can't say congrats or sorry for your loss without holding a glass of alcohol in your hand?

And then I scrolled down to this absolute gem:

Thus:
And for what its worth, I think its awesome to not cheers people. Just the other night I was at an event I was at and there were a couple of people there I simply detest, and I'm sure the feeling is mutual. After the first round and everyone cheers'd, one of them looks to me for the obligatory cheers and I just drank while looking at him while he stood there with his glass in the air. I drank almost half the beer before he eff'd off.
I also think its stupid when bands do the whole "sociables" thing with the audience. From now on, when a band yells "socialbles," I think Johnny199r should yell "f*** you!" in response.
Lastly, this thread has inspired me through reminding me that when I think about my good friends and why we're friends and all that stuff, that one day it is going to be perfectly acceptable for me to double fist bottles of beer while getting smashed at their funerals, and completely obliterating the wakes. Its what they would have wanted.
