Your comment on educating our youth appropriately is a wise one. <BR/><BR/>In my college days, I saw far too many kids do very stupid things with alcohol. Invariably, they came from households that completely banned alcohol. Now, suddenly at college they found themselves without parental oversight for the first time. Unfortunately, they had also never heard about how to drink responsibly. You can imagine how that turned out. One of them was very lucky not to die. <BR/><BR/>Now, I went to a beer drinking school. #2 in the nation while I was there. And a vast majority did it responsibly. My friends had all been given guidance while they were growing up, which was the case for me as well. We were able to have a good time, party and all that and yet do it safely and responsibly. <BR/><BR/>So the difference has been stark for me. Those who were exposed to alcohol by their parents in their youth knew how to handle it. Those for whom alcohol had been forbidden as a mortal sin all their lives were the ones who were most in danger. So it makes sense that fostering responsible consumption is the way to go, and that the prohibitionist view only leads to tragedy and strife.Dan Kachurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089439567241077226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-36307866708628867642008-12-06T22:51:00.000-05:002008-12-06T22:51:00.000-05:00Great post.

Beer, wine, and whiskey making should all be points of pride for our great nation, and one day beer will be seen as a wonderful agricultural and artisan product, and not as a drug or party favor. We have a long way to go.Luke Bohananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850157796767080012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349428160142078931.post-30745620658892344922008-12-06T13:35:00.000-05:002008-12-06T13:35:00.000-05:00Wow!
