Forget about the moral aspects of the letter itself, and whether you believe that people should take some responsibility for the amount of alcohol they put in their body, but surely at a festival the audience would have been free to simply not go and see the band if they objected to something that this young woman said about her childhood friend, and then the band would still get paid at least!
