The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“Alcohol is a social lubricant”: U.S. updates alcohol guidance, prompting strong reactions

The new federal guidelines no longer specify a daily limit on how many drinks people should have. This change has sparked strong reactions from the public.

Oz said, “Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best case scenario, I don’t think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize.”

And encouraging people to drink more, means more money sucked out of Prole pockets with taxes. One of my coworkers at the pump seal company went bowling every Thursday night. Friday mornings were predictable. One week, Tom would call in, around 9am, saying he overslept and would be in late. The next Friday, his wife would call, saying he wasn't feeling well and would not be in. The next, it would be back to "gee, I overslept"... wash, rise, repeat. Yeah, we need more "social lubrication" like that, in a pig's eye.
