My dad said that the general at the time said, "If they're old enough to die, they're old enough to buy a beer"... and that was that. <br /><br />I don't like most alcohol, but I don't have a problem with other people drinking in moderation, and I think it helps the short people figure out how to consume responsibly if they see their parents do so.Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755578765945858847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-33693716443267677522013-04-26T11:52:39.268-07:002013-04-26T11:52:39.268-07:00Hey Rob, prior to the American Micro Brew revoluti...Hey Rob, prior to the American Micro Brew revolution of the late 90's/early 00's, I would have certainly agree with you! I used to drink Moosehead, Molsons and LaBatts on the regular.<br /><br />But Micro-brewed beer is like the farmer's market, you can taste the freshness. I just like the really strong hops flavor of micro brewed pale ales. Plus I've become acclimated to the higher alcohol content, I now find that "regular" beers like the Canadian brews I used to drink regularly are like light beers to me now. About 6 mos. ago I drank 10 Mooseheads in a single evening and didn't really feel all that buzzed...<br /><br />Deansdale - thanks for the recommendation, you're right, I'm not a huge wine fan, but I do like it on occasion. I'll see if I can find it here in Hawaii at my local liquor store. My wife likes sweet wines, so I'll give it a shot if it's not too expensive!Keoni Galtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-70128730012765151902013-04-25T21:27:06.642-07:002013-04-25T21:27:06.642-07:00Better to be an export yourself, my friend!

I shall drink to your health, and at the same time, contribute to my own!"<br /><br />Reading this made me laugh because I was thinking the same thing - we old school MRA/MGTOW blogger types should drink to each others' health around the world. I think I will try one of your favorite whiskys and raise my glass in your honor :) But until I get my hands on that whisky, the wine I keep at home will have to suffice - cheers!<br /><br />It seems you're not a big fan of wines, but let me recommend the best wine in the world anyways: the hungarian "tokaji aszu". It is a sweet white wine unlike any other. If you don't like sweet wine you should still give it a try. It is numbered according to its quality from 3 to 6 and there's an even more exquisite category but instead of #7 it's called 'essence'.<br /><br />If you're not sold on the idea yet, read this:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokaji#Famous_consumers_of_Tokaji<br /><br />...and the word checker wants me to type "casks", hilarious.Deansdalehttp://deansdale.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4256367009985298221.post-63339854711496235752013-04-24T21:36:02.513-07:002013-04-24T21:36:02.513-07:00American beer is bad for your health!

Arbitrary threshold that can cause problems in your life when you were casually consuming, sure. <br /><br />But point blank, regardless of this cultural dichotomy you're trying to construe as binge v. sobriety, too many people have had their asses handed to them by playing the percentage game. Innocent ones at that. <br />Bawsnoreply@blogger.com
