This tally of alcohol-induced fatalities excludes deaths from drunk driving, other accidents, and homicides committed under the influence of alcohol. If those numbers were included the annual toll of deaths directly or indirectly caused by alcohol would be closer to 90,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I've always believed personally, that humans could use something, or...abuse something. Ever notice that coffee, carbonated soda and beer (alcohol bev.) were ALL designed to make you...want another one ? Think about that.

Merry Christmas and let's make the next one...a happy new year.

I concur, whole-heartedly. Having grown up with parents that were raging alcoholics (sort of ... I got shuffled around, a lot), I had a ring-side seat at the three-ring circus that is alcohol abuse.

An interesting note: the day of the year with the most DUI/DWI arrests? Thanksgiving.

I am lucky, buy 6 Coronas and drink 4. (no lime) It's more a great beverage to me.

Have you ever noticed that there are only two brands of beer that come in a clear bottle?

That maybe directly resulting from the usual extra long weekend even though Friday after (black ?) is for some, just another excuse to get drunk, as if they need one. I am with you bro. My father, uncle and both brothers were/are raging alcoholics. Father finally did quit and his fucking cigars too at 72, got in 9 good years smoke free on water.

I am lucky, buy 6 Coronas and drink 4. (no lime) It's more a great beverage to me. Hard stuff...not at all. I have had 12 in the fridge for two weeks. I offer them to guests, safe in the knowledge they prefer their Blight. (bud light)

Yea, I always thought that they must have something to hide. Did you know the Mayflower pulled over only because they were...out of beer ?

Clear (and green) bottles don't protect the beer from UV light, leading to a higher risk of "skunky" beer.

As usual you are mistaken once again.

Why the green beer bottle then? Green beer bottles offer very little protectionfrom the sunlight. Though, slightly more than a clear bottle, it does not help protect from UV as much as one might want.

normal people would interpret the italicized parts and especially the last part as meaning the uv light still can ruin the product and therefore its roughly accurate to say "green bottles don't protect the beer from uv light."

"perhaps you should get an adult to explain it to you?"

But obviously it did protect the beer some, and 'more than the clear bottle' just not as much as brown which were rationed due to war. So obviously then, you are not one of those adults.

Normal people read for comprhension. Obviously you do not, which would make you not normal. Something we have all noticed.

call it a gradation in terms of how we view the word protection. you appear to want to it to mean slow down the harmful effects. I want it to mean, prevent them (which is more or less the definition).

I get that the green bottle offers some protection, but if it doesn't protect it to the point of actually preventing the skunkiness that is the effect of uv light on the product (which I take to mean was desideri's point), the further protection of a green bottle over a clear bottle notwithstanding, then its roughly correct to say "it doesn't protect it."

to that point:

quote:

actually, your "little more" is arbitrary, but more importantly, the chart in the link you shared supports my case. notice that the brown bottle, if your chart is actually speaking to the issue, blocks the harmful light completely at what you are saying is the most harmful range. that is, it protects the product the way I am understanding the word protect. it doesn't slow the evolution to skunkiness down, it prevents it from happening.

we as people have a choice of interpreting things in such a way that gives others the benefit of the doubt, and we do well as people to actually look for those ways (and that's not to say I always succeed at that)---as opposed to looking for "reasons" or opportunities to insult.

for the most part, the genesis of my post was Thompson's berating and belittling practically everyone he replies to.
