The Best Years of Our Lives is a good movie, but I remember being stunned by the amount of alcohol those people consumed. When prohibition was repealed, people went crazy in the opposite direction for two decades.

Alcohol may have been the lubricant in the machines that, after WWII, built the greatest consumer economy in history, invented the transistor, cured polio, put Americans in space, and sent men to the moon.

In the spirit of those days, I’ll have another!
