Helping Weather the Recession
These gents have performed a nice public service. Scary at parts, but a nice service nonetheless: Cheap Booze Taste Test. Some of the best booze pictures I've seen lately and very good--if at times off-color--narrative. Samples:
OLDE ENGLISH 800. Price: Just $0.99 for a 24 oz. tallboy, although if you're going to be out in public we'd recommend springing for the more classically known 40 oz bottle.
COLT 45. It's a cool $0.99 for 24 ounces of whatever the hell is in there, and it comes with the class that only Billy Dee Williams can bring to the table.
MORGAN DAVID 20/20. Morgan David, a.k.a. "Mad Dog," is available in a variety of flavors and colors that look nothing like wine at all, and a giant bottle comes over to ruin your night for only $3.29. Sure, that's a significant step up from the $0.99 tallboys, but you're paying for class. One important factor to consider is getting just the right neon color to accentuate your eyes.
Keep 'Em Drunk and Pregnant
A study found that the bones of women who drink beer regularly are stronger, making them less likely to suffer from osteoporosis. Of course, drunk women also get pregnant more often, and pregnancies deplete bone mass, so maybe it just all evens out.
Drunken Mailbag
Bless, O Lord, this creature beer, that Thou hast been pleased to bring forth from the sweetness of the grain: that it might be a salutary remedy for the human race: and grant by the invocation of Thy holy name, that, whosoever drinks of it may obtain health of body and a sure safeguard for the soul. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
