| "It is better to rise from life as from a banquet - neither thirsty nor drunken." - Aristotle

According to the CDC "excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) each year in the United States from 2006 – 2010, shortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years."* Encourage yourself and others to heed Aristotle's advice and drink in moderation.
