It could be a regional thing, but I don't       know.              Maybe there is something going on. I would suspect less of a conspiracy       and more of a case of "we can make more money if we water our product down."              > Do you still see people getting drunk around your town?              I honestly don't pay that much attention, and I no longer hang out at       places where I would really notice. My recollection is that most of the       "partiers" looking to get drunk are doing so after dark, and I am probably       in bed. If I drink, I do so at home.                      * SLMR 2.1a * Misspelled? Impossible.
