I used to...

See what your Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is by using this Online Drink Wheel.

It measures what your estimated blood alcohol concentration is, based on the number of drinks you've had, the amount of time you drank them in, your sex and weight.

...not according to Paul Harvey

Listen to Friday's Paul Harvey show in which he discussed city water vs bottled water. (A not-so-subtle reminder from Paul Harvey at the end of the audio: "Evian" spelled backwards is "Naive".)

But wait, it gets better!

Now, where did THIS come from?!

I spotted this old-fashioned aluminum can tab when we were in Gatlinburg a few weeks ago. It was just lying there in the gravel, amongst the fallen leaves, stones, and dirt.

I can't imagine someone having a REALLY old can of soda or beer on hand these days...

According to August Busch IV, president of Anheuser-Busch, Budweiser has some interesting new marketing priorities. He writes:

"First, while beer is America's favorite beverage with 58 percent of overall alcohol servings, we must continue to improve the image and desirability of beer.
Second, we must keep beer fun and social.
Third, we must grow beer occasions.
And fourth, we must continue to improve our retail execution."

...sounds good to me.

I'd like to party with this guy!

Looks like Budweiser is on the cutting edge of cool marketing campaigns again (see Bud Light Real Men of Genius commercials for the COOLEST ad campaign ever!)...

Budweiser has now gone retro!

The Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee is close enough to Nashville that we take a road trip out there once a year or so.

It's also a fun thing to do with guests whenever they're in town visiting us. The best part: It's FREE!

Here are the highlights of our February 27th Jack Daniel's tour with Jim's parents.

Here's a unique perspective...

Check out this beer commercial! It'll make you want to run out and get your own set of goggles.

I just heard a Bud Light "Real Men of Genius" ad on the radio ("Mr. Cargo Pants Designer ... is that a banana in your pocket?"), and it reminded me of the fact that there IS no better ad campaign in history than Bud Light's "Real Men of Genius" (formerly known as "Real American Heroes") radio ads. They are pure brilliance!

If you're like me, you'll bookmark this entry. Then, whenever you need a lift... have a few minutes to kill... or just need a good laugh... you'll find great pleasure in hearing these ads over and over again.

Enjoy!
