| You don't say..... The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BAFT) bans the word "refreshing" to describe any alcohol beverage. -------------------- Anyone under the age of 21 who takes out household trash containing even a single empty alcohol beverage container can be charged with illegal possession of alcohol in Missouri -------------- A young adult college student studying in Italy can't have a glass of Chianti with dinner, according to the Drug Free Schools and Campuses Act. Students under the age of 21 are prohibited by the federal government from conforming to the drinking laws and customs of the countries in which they are studying. --------------------- In Pennsylvania the tax on wine and spirits is called the Johnstown Flood tax because it was imposed in 1936 to raise funds to help the city of Johnstown rebuild and recover from a devastating flood that year. The city of Johnstown quickly rebuilt and recovered but the tax still continues. It currently costs the taxpayers of the state over $160,000,000.00 each year |
| Say it Ain't So, Joe Joe McKnight, school superintendent in Laurel County, Kentucky, was forced to resign after acknowledging that he had transported beer and rum, which he had purchased for his own personal use, in a truck that happened to be owned by the school district. While he had not broken any law, McKnight was in violation of the district's Alcohol-Free Schools policy. ------------------- Beer with additives The Uape Indians of the upper Amazon in Brazil mix the ashes of their cremated dead with casiri, the local alcohol beverage. All members of the deceased's family, young and old, then drink the beverage with great reverence and fond memories. There's no report of how this might effect the taste. ------------------- A Real Toast The word "toast," meaning a wish of good health, started in ancient Rome, where a piece of toasted bread was dropped into wine |

| Ernest Hemingway “An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.” Henny Youngman "A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says 'You've been brought here for drinking.' The drunk says 'Okay, let's get started'.” Tom Barker "“I'm not drunk, all right. I just have a speech impediment ... and a stomach virus ... and an inner ear infection.” |
| K.B. Lands “There is more to life than beer alone, but beer makes those other things even better.” W.C. Fields "I drink with impunity...or anyone else who invites me. " Michael Jackson, Beer Hunter “They didn't trademark everything back then. Now someone farts and they put a TM after it. Even Miller Lite says 'A Fine Pilsner Beer' on the label. It is a crime."” |
