The Military Drinks a Lot

You don't say?

There is even a report that goes:  "The military leads all other professions in the number of days spent drinking per year, study claims"

Pfff.  I was in the military.  Yes my fellow service members were not afraid of a drink now and again.  Sometimes to excess.  Well, yes and some colossal booze-ups.  After I got out of the Navy (the soberist of the services, mebbe?) I was a Brewer.

Beer makers tend to drink a bit.  It's their JOB.  Gotta be sure it's fit for consumption.  I used to say that we drank more before 9AM than most people do all day.

The Brewery I worked for closed in 1999, but that was a great decade for me.  I am partly glad it's over.  I couldn't have kept that up.  A decade was enough.
