Actually Andrew I like the taste of Beer but really do not like the Buzz. Usually just a couple suffices. I think beer smells even better than it tastes. A cold beer on a hot summer day is probably one of the most refreshing experiences I can think of for MYSELF.
I did not drink beer when I was under age.
I cook with beer often, probably more often than drinking it...so does my son...and he rarely drinks beer although he is of age and could if he desired since he is offered beer regularly.

Yes drinking and driving or flying while inebriated is unacceptable if it puts the innocent in danger. But if a fellow wants to drive his car in a contained environment and do donuts and jump busses while drinking to excess I will support his right to do so. The same sentiments for someone or group that desires to do the same flying in the middle of the desert or field far removed from anyone that might be hurt other then those that choose to take the risks.

BUT I do not care to insure those with my dues to AMA if they desire such activities covered at my expense.
