That article contains the disgusting, absolutely shocking, almost
unbelievable statement that "More than 70% of adult Milwaukeeans
reported that they had at least one alcoholic drink within the past 30
days."

Talk about binge drinking!

I thought it was very odd that they went back thirty days. One week
to ten days would have seemed more reasonable. There are so many
opportunities over a month to have at least a glass of wine. For those
who get out in the real world once in a while, that is. Not like me.

And on drink on any occasion is not a biggie. I'd want to know about
how often they had two or three or more. Get a little exact there on
that quiz, fellas.

Well, I confess I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I mean,
it has been well known for centuries.....possibly millennia.....that
the muse requires liberal stimulation and lubrication. What could
possibly be better than slamming a few Butt-Lites while sitting in
front of the tube on a Saturday afternoon, partaking of the
intellectual challenge that is baseball viewing, to inspire one to
generate one of one's best zingers ever?
