Sir, - In letter-writing, some hit the spot and others lose the plot. In this regard, Damien Flinter of Connemara (December 27th) is a prime example of the latter.
At no time have I ever extolled the virtues of alcohol over other drugs; indeed, as anybody who knows this self-opinionated, teetotal, boring old codger personally would confirm, I would have sent off a missive in similar vein, had the boys of Coláiste Ráithín been caught boozing behind the cycle sheds. - Yours, etc.,
D.K. HENDERSON,
Castle Avenue,
Clontarf,
Dublin 3.
