Rants, Raves and Recipes from the Edge of Sanity
Obviously we aren't allowed to make an independent decision about when to have a drink. Great idea though.
I thought it was part of Catholic theology that "ye can only drink tha in a pub,laddie".....or , was that Guinness?vaquero viejo
I bet it was stopped because of the temptation for the guy filling the machine to do spot checks of the product. After the first couple of stops, he could simply not fill anymore, due to impaired driving ability, and so, the idea fell into disfavor.
I blame the Baptists.
Back in the 70s US Army barracks had beer machines. Then we got a non-drinker as Chief of Staff.
There are the "Three Tenants of Religious Protocol"!1. Jews don't recognize Jesus as the Christ promised in scripture.2. Most Christens do not recognize the Pope as the Head of the Christian Church.3. Baptists refuse to recognize on another in a liquor store!
