The other evening I took my wife and kids out to eat at a fun, all-ages restaurant located near a shopping mall in the suburbs.
We’ve been to this restaurant lots of times, but I guess they’d recently introduced a new menu because I had never seen this before. A large picture near the front of their menu showcased a tall, frosty glass of beer along with this slogan—
“Celebrate adulthood: get a drink!”
Chalk it up perhaps to the sensitivities of being a father of young children — I felt that same sort of wince a dad feels when he’s at the playground with his kid and hears a teenager shout profanity nearby. Our order was taken, our food arrived, and as we sat munching our burgers and fries I found myself still wrestling with the implications of that slogan.

I drank alot because it was fun. It's been a very very long time since I had a drink - why - just because. I don't need a drink to have fun.
Ads push the only way to really enjoy anything is you have to include a Beer!
Miller time, Relax with a Bud, Share a Coors when outdoors, slogan after slogan pushing this message.
Nothing wrong with having a beer to relax and enjoy your company. A nice ice cold beer on a very hot day is very refreshing - more so that ice tea - just seems that way to me. It's when you don't know when to stop or you use it as a crutch to get through the day. You know who you are and so do those around you.
It's all about the money. Them making big money by taking ours. Pot is next, the tax dollars involved are too many to be ignored.
People that drink are more fun and less judgmental
