The Amount of Booze that is Consumed in TV is Amazing
 

I wish I could be the liquor distributor for The Villages!

Funny saying that you see on some license plates that are sold on Vendor Nights at the Squares that goes :

"The Villages is a Drinking Community with a Golf Cart Problem"

Cute :)

That could be the start of another career! You ready for all that distribution?

Better yet, open up a rehab for seniors. Gives new meaning to "assisted living".

Its a fact that a glass of wine or a beer or two can benefit your health. However, you don't have to be much of an observer to see people over their limit, especially at the town squares. I don't have much tolerance for an obnoxious drunk.

So where do you get your statistics?I have lived here for a while and have not noticed the behavior that you are insinuating,this IS an adult community

The liquor consumption is for medicinal purposes only!! :)

Na Zdrowie!!! ( To your health )

What on earth are you talking about? Hic :beer3:

i wouldn't want to work that hard! ;)

Now THAT is funny!

There seems to be quite a bit of drinkin' goin' on. You can tell that probably the two for one's are the reason for so many broken gates that happen here.

I saw a fellow repairing the crossbar to a gate the other morning and I rolled the window down and told him that I doubt he'd ever be out of work. ;)

We say we moved from a drinking town on the Jersey shore to a drinking town in central FL...the difference is that in NJ it doesnt stop until 4AM...

people
 

With over 80K people living here plus guests and outsiders I'm surprised the didn't put a distillery in Brownwood. Maybe it's not a rain barrel after all.

Here it starts at 4 a.m. Gotta get ready for golf.

:1rotfl:

Very good :laugh:

That's funny stuff.

You know how to tell when your drunk?

When your lying on the floor and you have to hold on. :jester:

Cheers

I agree. I have seen very little public intoxication in my short time here. Most of my neighbors don't drink and I belong to several billiards leagues and I have yet to see anyone drink or show signs of drinking at any of them. I have been to both town squares a number of times and have never seen anyone acting up.

And as has been pointed out, we are a community of 85,000 people. That's a good sized city in most states. I don't know what the total volume of alcohol sold is, but I'd love to see a statistic of alcohol consumed per capita. My guess is that it would be low based on my experience here so far.

There are various arrests for drunk driving and public intoxication in the weekly police logs in the Villages Daily Sun on Mondays. Not as many arrests though as would be in a community with a lot more nightclubs, bars, strip clubs, etc.

In support of Villagers, age does seem to bring some wisdom with respect to over indulging in alcohol-- age and diabetes type ll.

Does anyone remember the Spanish Springs Brewery ?
It was located where the new Luigino's restaurant is.

It was one of our favorite places to eat and have a beer.

Marge and Homer could fit in here.

Marge: Homer, you cannot miss Lisa's big day. And you have to come sober!
Homer: American sober or Irish sober?
Marge: .08 sober!
Homer: .15.
Marge: .09!
Homer: .10 with a stomach full of bread. My final offer.
Marge (groans): Deal.

Love the Simpsons!

I am a Villagers,
I shall not drink.

If I should drink,
I shall not get drunk.

If I should get drunk,
I shall not stagger.

If I should stagger,
I shall not fall down.

If I should fall down,
I will do so, face first,
So that no one can tell

I AM A VILLAGER.

Yeah. and don't throw up on my new sandals either.

:1rotfl::1rotfl:

We'll be there permanently at the beginning of November. I intend to help the total.

I take exception to the mischaracteriztion of villagers being heavy drinkers. Wasn't the faux sex scandal being passed around enough. Wait a minute I'll be right back my girlfriend is complaining that I tied the ropes around her wrist too tightly:pepper2: if I can get one 6 oz glass wine finsihed with my meals and not get a buzz I am doing good.

We villagers get drunk on the pure joy of living here

How many arrests per week? Remember, we are a community of 85,000 people plus guests and people who come into the Villages from the surrounding communities for the free entertainment and restaurants.

I'd love to see how we stack up against Ocala which has about 55,000 people.

How do you know how much I drink? Please don't follow me into Kindred Spirits!:laugh:
