Such odious publications are aimed at de-normalising alcohol and demonising all drinkers, even though most have a perfectly healthy relationship with booze. I know I do, I love it and it loves me.

Cheers,

Don’t be silly. This is the ‘entrance exam’ for potential PLCB employees!!

Hi Glenn,

LPR? I am afraid this abbreviation is lost on me. I hope that it means something akin to ‘Alcohol is not a cheap alternative to happiness, it is an expensive pre-requisite for happiness.’ If I am wildly off the mark with this do let me know.

Cheers,
David.

Well…sort of…

You should see the booklet for little kids the PSCB published.
(Pennsylvania Sex Control Board)

On the one hand…don’t drink, it is bad. But there happens to be lots of tax dollars - so on the other hand - buy a lot of wine and spirits in our wonderful stores. Lots of really good sales!

I am amazed they didn’t put a picture of “the chairman” in the booklet.

PLCB is in the public interest, that’s why they want to put wine kiosks in our Giant Eagle grocery stores. To make it easier to buy wine!!

BTW…what year was that fun book made?? I think I remember completing some of those puzzles in 1975

Thanks John, never heard that one before; I feel educated! I wasn’t so wide of the mark, if a touch less… erm… direct.

On a vaguely related note, I recall the supposed-‘never fail’ chat-up line used by one of my wine associates before he finally pulled a lovely girlfriend. It went, “You are not the most attractive woman in the room, but beauty is just a light-switch away.” I always stuck with the old favourite, “Fancy a shag?” which got me a few slaps in the face, but a surprising number of shags as well…

Cheers,
David.
