never from cans, too big a connection between the alu in the can and 
senior dementia/ aka alzheimers.  I have drunk maybe a 12 pack out of a 
can in 85 years. That includes pop, I'll go thirsty first.

I claim it as a point of honor to drive someone to the well. Problem is, 
I can't join them since I am diabetic, and limit myself to one near beer 
a day. The funny part is that its 6:33 am here and half of last nights 
bottle of Miller 64 is still sitting here. Guinness takes a different 
taste I've never developed an urge for. I like my whiskey where you can 
still taste the corn in it. Black label Jack Daniels, but my last 5th 
was emptied 5 years ago. And took 5 years to empty it.
