BYCU: Taxes and Top Ten List

I'll drink to it: [Congress Sends Tax Cut Bill to Obama's Desk](http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/12/17/congress-passes-extend-tax-cuts-jobless-aid/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). It'll save me money on social security taxes, save many of my clients money on estate planning legal services, and let me keep $7,000 in child credits. But I don't see much in it that reduces spending. It's a borrow-and-spend bill. So, I'll have a drink to celebrate now, and I'll have a bunch of drinks to numb my fears later. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* I wish I liked hard liquor more, especially this time of year. I see all sorts of neat-looking drink recipes and want to try them, but I know they won't taste as good as a beer. If you like liquor and funky drinks, [*Forbes* has an exotic assortment of holiday ideas here](http://blogs.forbes.com/lisamogensen/2010/12/10/most-amazing-holiday-cocktails-from-the-experts/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Also from *Forbes*: [Ten reasons to drink during the holidays](http://www.forbes.com/2005/11/22/holiday-drinking-health-cx%5Fsy%5F1123feat%5Fls.html?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Warning: It's one of those ten-part slide shows. Another warning: The list is lame, so I thought I'd attempt my own list:

10\. It's always the season for drinking.

9\. Dieting is right around the corner.

8\. Drinking is a natural social activity.

7\. Seeing people you rarely see calls for celebration.

6\. Drunken shopping is easier.

5\. It tastes good.

4\. Alcohol encourages a sense of joy.

3\. It's the season of giving, and alcohol can reduce your ego.

2\. Charitableness often comes in a bottle.

1\. A small amount of alcohol still the inner-beast, bringing us closer to that supernatural stillness.

\* \* \* \* \* \* If you close the bar tonight and stumble home late, wanting some drunken Christmas fare, TCM is showing *[Santa Clause Conquers the Martians](http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=89028&ref=thedailyeudemon.com)* tonight at 3:45 (EST).
