Ah, didn't discover UC until college. The beer balls were totally in effect, though. I also remember a particular frat obtaining "Beer"...literally, that's all the cans said...for a party called "Cheap Domestic Beer Night" (never understood how that was substantively from other frat parties). Regardless, cheers to the cheap-ass beers of upstate. *Currently wishing I hadn't exhausted my supply of delicious Southern Tier yesterday.

With mindless studies like this, you can also discover that people who quit smoking are more likely to die of lung cancer than non-smokers.

Sounds like how we got into Iraq.

Indeed...regardless of where I live, this is a dialectic idiosyncrasy I refuse to give up (and will chastise original pop-sayers who have).

Tangentially related/ My grandmother was from Boston and when I was about 5 she asked me if I wanted some tonic. I thought she was offering me booze and turned sheepishly to my mom for guidance and she explained that Grandma meant pop. Admittedly, if she'd offered me a beer, I would've accepted...it wasn't until I was older that I started on liquor.

Brewed from the crystal clear waters of the Genesee River...they always hoped the consumers never laid eyes on said river. That said, Cream Ale is the only Genny product I can stomach. My buddy bought some Genny Light many years back because it was on sale(!) and we literally couldn't give it away to 16 year olds.

As in UC from FX Matt? Must agree with you there. I'll take Genny Cream Ale over it any day.

Not a chance, Michelle. Not a chance.

considering what liquor and i did last night, diet coke seems decidedly less dangerous.

Just don't dilute it with that poisonous Coke.

My doctor told me "eat less and exercise". This is how far health care has sunk in the U.S.A. under Obama. Crazy talk! Crazy talk! I'm pretty sure I read an article somewhere that exercise can cause shortness of breath and stuff. As for eating less, in America we let the market decide. And it has decided to serve really big portions, especially on all-you-can-eat pasta night.
