if you look at the sign on the wall of the World of Beer, it shows the number of drinks their members have "enjoyed" at their establishment. One person I remember in particular has had more than 700 drinks there. (I actually think it was more than 9oo, but I am not sure) Like someone said, the store has been opened about a year. Of course that only included what was consumed there. I personally think there is a LOT of alcohol consumed in TV. I have been to numerous parties, and have NEVER been to a party where there was no alcohol. I am not a drinker, so maybe I notice it more than some. I also come from a fairly big area, but it was not the norm for people to drink at dinner, and def. not at lunch. Most of the times we are out to dinner, we are in the very few who do not consume alcohol. I guess there are areas of the country where it is common to order alcohol with meals, and if they can do that with responsibility, I have no problem with that. I will say that I rarely see anyone intoxicated in the restaurants-the squares are a very different story.
