New York Times and Booze

I had never seen this before, but apparently the New York Times also has a blog entirely dedicated to booze. And it's great.

Here's the Synopsis:

For the past 10,000 years or so, wherever humans have gathered, there has been alcohol. Some never touch the stuff. But most do. It is used to celebrate, commiserate, mourn, remember and, often, to forget. It is different things to different people: libation, anesthetic, emotional crutch, social lubricant, addictive substance, sacred potion, killer or commodity. In "Proof," contributors consider the charms, powers and dangers of drink, and the role it plays in their lives.

Check it.

Its a lot like B&B but with authors who hold long thought processes. The first article, Time and the Bottle, was really well written. Almost toooo well.

we can do that...just takes focus...and a c-suite level expense account to imbibe some of the drinks in some of the locations they're musing about.
