And as far as moderation goes; Moderation in all things including moderation. So
get wasted occasionally.

hmmm .... Here's a clue the "vile" stuff you were drinking is called ethanol.
It is one of the polar protic laboratory solvents. It easily causes brain (CNS)
damage. As for the "buzz", it not a buzz worth having. It is my opinion if one
likes the incapacitating effect, they must be sick.
the warning labels here say: drink responsibly.
No death tolls from alcohol,
no mention of the damage it will do to you,
will be found on the label.
drink responsibly means not at all.

After the second time I got so drunk I was sick, I decided that was the
best option for me.
I limit myself to one or two drinks when going out somewhere, but rarely
drink at home any more. Occasionally G&T, Margarita, or glass of wine,
and the very occasional beer.
Probably all told I have a couple of drinks a month unless I'm traveling
for work - then if I'm eating out, I'll have something with dinner.

Mexico isn't part of the United States (in Spanish, "Los Estados Unidos"
refers to the United States of America - and ask any Mexican if that
includes Mexico and you're likely to get laughed out of the country).

I understood that. I just don't know why they'd think I was more mexican
than any other "united states of ..."

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

Yep. Like that. My grandma used to carry a big stick on the way to
school to beat off the Black Forest wolves. No kidding.

Sorry I thought Mexico was a republic with 31 states and could therefore
be refered to as the United States of Mexico.
