Could be.  That shelf is getting crowded.  I've had to add more shelves.

As background, I'm 38 and have been in service 20 years, married for 17 to the same woman with 2 kids. I don't drink regularly but I do enjoy an adult beverage now and again. I've been drunk maybe once in the past year, 3 or 4 times in the past decade. Always have a plan and never touch a drop outside my home or without knowing some I trust implicitly is there as my wingman.

Because a couple of dumb-asses stationed 4 hours from me got DUIs, our Wing is going to go on General Order 1, NO ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION.

Prohibition failed some time back....with disastrous consequences...  I agree with Gary...punishing the entire Wing does not make any sense.

For ever? You get assigned to that wing you have to give up beer for the duration? Your out with the wife for dinner you can't have a glass of wine or a beer?

We don't know how long yet, hopefully no longer than a month or so. If they go with a 90 day thing it'll run through July 4th, which will not be cool.

No beer or wine at dinner, no exceptions. Sorry for your luck.

I would probably have to contact a JAG lawyer. I don't believe that is a lawful order.

And tonight, I ran out of brandy :-(   All out of cheap Scotch too so I am making do with Dimple Pinch. Almost forgot how much I like the stuff, and the best part is it does not need to be cut with water and ice to hide the nasty undertones. Nice stuff....

Sorry, not trying to rub anyone's nose in 'it'.

A little over a month ago, I suffered from an extreme bout of stomach flu.  Coincidentally, I also had a martini that night.  I still can't look at a Vodka bottle.  I am however easing back into drinking again with beer.  I just have no urge to drink anything stronger than beer these days.  This makes me crazy and annoyed.

I try to eat right as I don't want to pack on the pounds like I've done before. As far as I'm concerned,  creme filled donuts are the perfect breakfast food and chocolate cake is one of the 4 main food groups.

The grocery store near my house is set up so you have to walk thru the bakery department to get to the dairy products.  >:(   Thats like having to walk thru the Playboy mansion to get to my wife! The struggle is real!

That is annoying.
It takes a lot more volume of beer to get the same effect as a good distilled beverage.
Although beer must be natures perfect food because I have known many to survive on a diet of nothing else. 
This street bike thing is all new to me.
Snowmobiles-I have a bunch of those.

No worries, I took a couple days of leave. I'm in Rome to run a Spartan race on Saturday so I have yet to receive any 'official' word.  ;D

I drank a bit too much tequila one night almost 20 years ago, still can stand the sight of a bottle of the stuff, much less the taste.

Can't stand the smell of it..  Drank a lot in HS and with my future father-in-law after work.
