September 7th brings us National Beer Lovers Day, marking the methods and ingredients of zymurgy as it pertains to the brewing of beer ...
In an earlier time and place I would be somewhat more enthusiastic of the day seeing how I used to imbibe with extreme gusto.
Those were my Navy days and the times afterward spanning several years which have now gone by the teetotaler into which I evolved in my post apocalyptic detachment from all recreational mind alteration due to those constraints testing placed upon employment applications.
Now, I certainly don't hold a beer against anyone ever and as long as a person tows the line from a perspective of self control and civil society we will never have any friction at all.
Coming from an environment rich in alcohol abuse during my youth I naturally cultivated a caution with beer.
So many of my high school classmates died from automobile accidents and I recall many drunken forays into those risks one pop top at a time.
So regardless, happy National Beer Lovers Day to you and should you choose to partake try to exercise moderation.
