I’m taking a vacation from beer until I drop 15 lbs for a race I am running this month. Somehow I gained a little weight last month and it is coming off no matter what. Actually, I know exactly how I gained it. I started having three beers EVERY night instead of just on friday night.

You have more control that me - three beers a night - that is! I will have to do the same with this Nut Brown Ale! But it is so good - I don’t know.

I have a theory that we're going to see a non-trivial increase in alcohol consumption due to several factors:

• The economy in a slump.
• The tyrannical overreach of government.
• [Both contributing to] The growing sense of powerlesness.
