Just buy an alcohol vaporizer and you won't have to worry about calories ever again. And if you get brain damage you'll never have to worry about anything at all again.

It's only $300.

It's banned in Michigan and I think Kentucky.

Kids should try it. There are no laws against underage inhaling.

Edit: 22 states have banned it I guess

I'm on the fence with Christmas ales. Most of them sound better in theory than they end up being--they just throw everything in there, and forget about balance.

I do love Sam Adam's Winter Lager. Their only seasonal I buy.

QFT... but aren't you the one whose effusive praise of the Schlafly Christmas Ale convinced me to try it?

i wish you were an inventor, not so much on the vodka part inless you can also make a whiskey like that but for sure on the sober pill part. Ill do my part and start you off with a generious $1 grant for your research

Not I. I think the Schlafly Christmas Ale is pretty bland. Now the Pumpkin Ale is a different story...

Maybe they've changed the recipe. I haven't had it since '06, I don't think.
