Non-alcoholic beer. Gak. Sort of the definition of gak. I have tried. For a while almost 20 years ago there was a brand of near beer that blended well with some brand of real beer and I was happily drinking 2.5% on a Saturday afternoon. But that was then. I've no idea now what was in the glass …

After tonight's big feed of whole salmon baked in a bucket of olive oil cut with lemon chunks sided with Local 1 and Jack D'or, I have to admit that I have some sympathies for pairing. And while I am not going to join any crusade against MADD, I balance my thoughts about BBADD with those by Jay …

OK, if I had a spare $6,000 I am not sure I would spend it on this draft pouring arcade game chair but then again I am not sure I would not. You see, there are so many applications. As a tool for teaching about the dangers of drunk driving it's a natural. A boon to any driver's ed course. But also …

Oh, dear God. We gave up these things for a reason: • An Iowa man who is subsisting solely on beer for the duration of Lent says he is trying to combat the “teetotalling, neo-prohibitionist tendencies” of some elements of Christianity while also paying homage to the beer-making Bavarian monks of …
Let Us All Forget The Simple Joys Of A Taxi...

How embarrassing. We all know there are certain truths. That, before cars, there was no drunk driving is one of them. Which leads me to this: what the heck sort of problem do people have with jumping into a taxi? You know what that need to get behind the wheel after a few now is leading to? It …

You know, I have often wondered about the odd measurement of alcohol strength that the UK uses - aka "the unit" - because it is so obscure. For me, I would like to see the number of ml of pure alcohol listed on every bottle. Wouldn't that be the easiest thing to do? Instead, we in Canada get …
