| Don't mix sangria with beer New legislation now makes it legal for restaurants to make and sell sangria in Virginia, but it's still illegal to make and sell beer cocktails or any other drink containing spirits along with either beer or wine. Violations of the prohibition carry a large fine and up to one year imprisonment. ---------------------- Earn More, Drink More Women in the US who drink alcoholic beverages earn 14 percent more than nondrinkers and men who drink make 10 percent more than abstainers, according to an economic analysis published in the Journal of Labor Research. Men who drink in a bar at least once a month earn an additional 7 percent, for a total of 17 percent more than nondrinkers. Beer Cannot Be Refreshing The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BAFT) bans the word "refreshing" to describe any alcohol beverage. |
| You don't say..... A standard beer, glass of wine or drink of a distilled beverage each contain equivalent amounts of alcohol. To a breathalyzer they're identical. In spite of their alcohol equivalence, the three product categories tend to be viewed and treated very differently in society. For example, laws often treat them unequally, they are taxed at very different rates and operate under distinct laws about advertising. --------------------- Scientists have finally discovered why British chips smell so irresistible. The research was done at Leeds University in London in conjunction with National Chip Week. The scientists analyzed the aroma of the fried potatoes and decided they have a "complex blend of scents that includes butterscotch, cocoa, cheese and flowers." They concluded that "all things being equal, it's the smell that makes a chip bad, good, or great. " ---------------------- The fast growing beer producer on the plant is also America’s biggest and most award-winning Jewish Beer Company. Shmaltz Brewing reports over 80% growth during the last twelve months. Over the last five years Shmaltz has seen over 1000% growth. |

| Abraham Lincoln "“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer.” " Ernest Hemmingway "It was as natural as eating and, to me, as necessary. I would not have thought of eating a meal without drinking a beer." |
| Ben Franklin “He that drinks fast, pays slow.” Henry Miller "Keep your libraries, your penal institutions, your insane-asylums... give me beer. You think man needs rule, he needs beer. The world does not need morals, it needs beer... The souls of men have been fed with indigestibles, but the soul could make use of beer." |
