    Carl, I hope this link doesn't violate rules, as it serves no benefit to me but does drive traffic elsewhere...

    "Don't trust anyone who doesn't drink" is the article's headline and conclusion, after reading an interesting (for someone who enjoys economic theory and maths) economics research piece entitled "In Vino Veritas: The Economics of Drinking"

    Much along the lines of trusting a captain that loves swimming?

    Q: How mutch?

    OK

    1) The dose makes the difference between medicin and drugs
    2) One glas per day is OK for the health, not more

    Q: How to get free beer at YF? :rolleyes:

    Cheers :)

    Well now. This make me want to reconsider my choice a few years ago.
    Having a two and four year old kids and running my business, I didn't want to deal with the ol "fuzzy mornings" any more. I wanted to be crystal clear for my kids & I can't afford to skip a beat at work. I had a rough night at a Buffet concert & when I sprang out of bed at the crack of 2 p.m. & suffered the rest of the next day, I figured it was something that this 42 year old never wanted to do again. I never did. I don't have to ever worry about getting arrested & more importantly that I'll never kill someone or myself because of a few drinks.
    I'll have a couple of "non alcoholic" Becks from time to time & it does the trick. Perfect for boating too!

    Great choice, my reasons were different but agree with your conclusions.
