When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

“Alcohol is a social lubricant”: U.S. updates alcohol guidance, prompting strong reactions
The new federal guidelines no longer specify a daily limit on how many drinks people should have. This change has sparked strong reactions from the public.
Oz said, “Alcohol is a social lubricant that brings people together. In the best case scenario, I don’t think you should drink alcohol, but it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize.”https://currently.att.yahoo.com/creators/lifestyle...And encouraging people to drink more, means more money sucked out of Prole pockets with taxes. One of my coworkers at the pump seal company went bowling every Thursday night. Friday mornings were predictable. One week, Tom would call in, around 9am, saying he overslept and would be in late. The next Friday, his wife would call, saying he wasn't feeling well and would not be in. The next, it would be back to "gee, I overslept"... wash, rise, repeat. Yeah, we need more "social lubrication" like that, in a pig's eye.

Many of the "tariff fighters" have specifically targeted the red states producing alcohol. This might salve that wound. Based on rumblings from Europe that might also be the ticket for the upcoming "proportional response"...likely to also target red states.

Someone has to drink all that liquor that the Canadians aren't buying anymore. Expect the drinking age to be lowered to 16. "Hey kid you got your driver's license. Let's celebrate with a few cold ones."

Surprised that Trump is allowing Oz and RFK Jr. to "go wild" with this. I would have thought that Trump being a teetotaler would have pushed him to put even more restrictions on alcohol.

Remember, Trump is a pathological narcissist who cares about nothing and nobody but himself. ALL is transactional with him. Do you really believe he gives a sht about something that might harm others? Of course he doesn't.

I agree. Trump is more likely to require all liquor stores to sell his swill.
His followers have no trouble lapping it up.
