Well, now consider yourself armed for the future - and get a better mattress (or at least a mattress pad!).

Thanks for the comment -- Marty

Especially the sleeping habits! I am a college student and my dorm bed is so hard I sleep in my sleeping bag...on top of the bed! :-)

Like I said, I wrote this originally several years ago, when I was bartending and writing for a college newspaper.

That being said, having 'alcohol on your breath' isn't something that any company should be able to suspend you for. If you decide to have a beer at lunch, that shouldn't affect your job. However, when drinking starts to affect your performance THEN your employer should be able to do something. Just my two cents!

Where I work, anyone with alcohol on their breath gets a suspension. Termination can happen if the guilty party doesn't work sober. Thanks for the look at your life.

...Wine appreciation expands beyond Boone’s and Mad Dog...

You mean those aren't allowed after we graduate? Good thing I haven't graduated yet, then... And that metabolism slowdown? I think that's an evil lie spread by those who are, um... spreading. Or not. Oh, screw it, and pass the Guinness why don'tcha?

Cheers!

Here, here! But I have a multitude of friends who like good beer, but 'have to' drink Miller Lite to watch their girlish figures. I laugh and pour myself a Guinness...

Funny stuff here, Marty! I can relate to a lot of this, errr, except maybe for number 10:

10. You start eyeing the Light Beer section appreciatively

If that ever happens to me, please shoot me!

Cheers!

Thanks! I used to write a humor piece monthly in a college mag out west. I thought some people would get a kick out of it.
