Hurray Beer!!!!

On my other news (that sometimes matters) I caught this little snippit.

States weigh lowering drinking age

Holy shit! What a great idea! Now teens won't have to hang out near a liquor store or mini mart and beg some poor slob to get them some hooch. The reasoning? If someone that's 18 can go to Iraq and get killed or come back home with a raging case of post traumatic stress disorder, then that person should be able to buy alcohol. The argument does make sense, to me at least. Where I am from, drinking is a way of life. There just isn't shit else to do here in West Virginia but get drunk. Getting a DUI (or DWI depending upon what your local government calls it) is like a right of passage here. For the record, I've never been picked up for a DUI so I guess technically I'm not a true West Virginian.

Why not lower the drinking age? Just think of all the 18 to 21 year olds that will be booked for DUI. That's money going into the state and local governments because if caught there are substantial fines, classes you have to take, and all manner of other nice ways for the MAN to stick it in and break it off. Granted if you are driving around in a couple tons of vehicle and are impaired, and if you get caught, well, that's tough. You're getting what you deserve.

Ok, two blogs in one night. I am spent. Just remember that I said it first:

BEER IS SKILL!!
