I attended University of Texas and pledged a fraternity. I was a musician then and now, so my friends and I can consume mucho cerveza, so if beer consumption is down, it's not because of us.
Just reporting in. :)
Glad to see you're doing your part for the Cause. We've got to keep our reputation up. Can you imagine the shame of seeing an article titled "Beer Consumption Down" about Texas? I imagine that would be about the time they were making snowballs in Hell.
Whenever my group of FReeper Friends converges on our local hangout in Houston, the beer sales for that night make a noticeable spike upward.
