We were asked to write a post about sustainable distilling practices for “The Best of the Green Web”, a collection of post about sustainability, climate change and green initiatives.
Contributing to the site are some of the best on the web including Boing Boing, Makezine & Notcot. The site is a treasure trove info, green ideas and over sustainable goodness.
Seven States are considering lowering the drinking age. Proponents in Kentucky, Missouri, Minnesota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Vermont feel that if young men & women can serve in Iraq, they should be able to have a drink as well.
This has some feathers ruffled at MADD and of course there would be the loss of Federal Highway Funds. That may be a deal breaker, but you can be that 18 - year olds in those seven states will lobby hard until they turn 21 and no longer care.
In a reversal of the growing fast growing trend, Boston has banned bottle service.
Most people see bottle service with VIP treatment at a hot club in a big city a special treat and a perk of being able to afford spendy bottles of booze. But one Boston official disagrees and is cracking down on the clubs that offer bottle service to their clients. His argument? That the price of the bottle causes patrons to feel they have to down the whole thing before the night is over which, consequently, steps on the toes of the “happy hour” law of a two-drink max per patron.
Hooray for the average guy!

Thank God it’s Friday! Dr. Dre is in the liquor biz and it is about time. Dre has partnered with Drinks Americas, of Trump Vodka fame, to produce a line of spirits and mixers.
First out of the gate will be Dr. Dre Cognac, straight out of Compton. Kidding, actually it is a fine Cognac from France (Duh!). Plans are in the works for a Tequila and Vodka as well.

Forget the worm, this bottle of vodka has a 10 inch rattler stewing. Earlier this week Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission agents seized 411 bottles of Rattle Snake infused vodka at Bayou Bob’s Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch in Texas. Apparently, Bob didn’t have a license to sell booze. Oooops.
TABC officials said alcohol containing snakes or scorpions is popular in Asian cultures. An Internet search found operations selling Thai scorpion vodka, cobra whiskey, giant centipede whiskey, herbal gecko lizard wine and Mekong River eel wine.
A study conducted by Göttingen University in Germany shows that the hippocampus shrinks less for drinkers of beer than wine or the hard stuff.
The ground-breaking study shows that the hippocampus, the part of the brain involved in memory, spatial tasks and many other functions, was more than 10 per cent smaller in those whose tipple was wine than in those who favored beer.
