 But the point here is that the placement of these signs directly beneath a McDonald's logo, underneath a McDonald's roof, creates the appearance that McDonald's is either selling beer or endorsing the consumption of beer.
It gives a whole new meaning to the term, "Happy Meal," huh? Maybe chicken McNuggets will come with a new Vodka-flavored dipping sauce, and Big Macs can be ordered with a side of Big Shots. Perhaps the McDonald's menu will soon carry some new favorites such as Long Island Iced Tea and Absolut Strawberry Shake. |
| What's the message to children here: Trust McDonald's, drink beer?
Acute observers might point out, no doubt, that this particular McDonald's appears to be an "Express Stop" restaurant, which means it's sort of a combination restaurant and mini grocery store. So it's not purely a McDonald's restaurant, and I'm pretty sure McDonald's doesn't actually serve beer (although it might be an improvement over the stuff they do serve!). |

| REPPED: On a recent road trip to Phoenix, Arizona, I stopped to take a driving break and found myself staring in disbelief at the scene depicted in this unaltered photograph: A McDonald's restaurant is apparently advertising beer! As you can see in this picture, a neon "Miller Lite" sign is clearly visible in the window, as well as a "Budweiser" logo and sale sign.
McDonald's is the same restaurant, of course, that advertises heavily to children and even goes out of its way to build thousands of childrens' playgrounds in its restaurants. |
| It's not any sort of indictment of McDonald's restaurants -- because there are a lot worse things going on in those McDonald's kitchens than beer, if you ask my opinion. But that's a whole different story that starts with the cattle feedlots in Greeley, Colorado, and it's a subject too sickening to talk about right now.
This photo is accurate and true. It has not been edited in any way other than to adjust brightness and contrast. It was taken at an Express Stop McDonald's just SE of Chandler, Arizona, on Interstate 10 heading towards Tucson. |

 Beer companies pull the same trick when they show beer drinkers surrounded by sexy young women. The message that gets driven into the subconscious minds of male viewers is that drinking their beer will make them attractive to women. It doesn't have to be stated; it's presented in context, using body language and associative conditioning that the subconscious mind immediately understands.
Drug companies use the same influence strategies by associating their brand-name drugs with images of happy, successful, vibrant people. The message? Take our drugs and you'll be just like these people! |

 To give another example, men who are addicted to corn may drink a lot of beer and they can become alcoholics. They're sensitive to and addicted to the beer, but it's the corn—or sometimes some other component?in the beer that is causing the problem. Sometimes, for those with an allergy to grains, they may feel 'drunk' after eating cereal or certain types of baked goods."

 The calories synthesized from alcohol are generally stored as fat—beer bellies really do come from beer.)
Many Asians have a genetic variation (labeled ALDH2*2) that causes them to produce a less powerful form of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase—one that isn't as effective in converting acetaledehyde, that first by-product of alcohol, into acetate. Acetaldehyde is thirty times as toxic as alcohol; even very small amounts can produce nasty reactions. And one of those reactions is the flushing response. That's not all it does, of course. |

 You're sitting on the porch with a beer, and you suddenly realize you're going to have to go back into that hellhole of a job in just a few hours. Your stomach knots. Your jaw clenches. You crush the beer can. You start thinking of the injustices of the previous week, wondering how you escaped the axe. Didn't management see the glaring errors in your performance? You grind your teeth as you think of the injustice of them firing Helen, after she's kept the whole division going?in her quiet way—for years. What ingratitude! What blindness! What ineptitude! |

 We noticed an empty beer glass in front of him, and asked him if he drinks. "No, my doctor told me not to drink. Especially not milk." He accepted a beer anyway and toasted my health. He was standing next to Marisa, who was 39 and attractive, so I returned the toast, recalling Groucho Marx: "May you always feel as young as the woman you're with." He looked at Marisa, examined her from head to toe and rejoined, "Do I look like a cradle robber?"

 And toast yourself after you make these changes with a glass or two of wine (or beer) a day, if you want to; moderate amounts of wine and beer also reduce heart-disease risk.
If you don't have heart disease or risk factors for heart disease, you don't need to get your cholesterol checked, no matter what anyone tells you. Why do I say this? Because the only reason to get your cholesterol checked is to see if you need treatment. And since statins won't help you, there is no need to get it checked. |

 Wine and hard liquor have been shown to raise concentrations—but there seems to be a loophole for beer, which seems to have no effect. Some researchers have suggested that the folate (folic acid) and B6 in beer might help counteract the homocysteine-raising effects of the alcohol.

IS THERE REALLY "GOOD" CHOLESTEROL?
Recent advances in research have only brought more attention to the blood lipid awarded the nicxriame "good cholesterol," so known because high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels are associated with lower incidence of heart disease. |

 The conference table was soon covered with a whole host of shirts, comforters, packages, mugs, beer cups, and more, all made from corn. A Bud Light beer container was being used at more large-scale sports events than ever. In May 2004, the Oakland Coliseum, home of the Oakland Athletics, was the first ballpark in the United States to adopt corn-based cups and serviceware. The same crop of corn-based containers found their way into the hands of music fans attending the June 2004 annual Telluride Blue-grass Festival in Telluride, Colorado. |

 For example, in one of the most publicized reports, a woman, Claire Sylvia, received a heart-lung transplant, and afterward she suddenly began craving chicken nuggets and beer, two things she had never particularly cared for.8 She later discovered that her heart donor was a teenage male who had died in a motorcycle accident. He loved chicken nuggets and beer. Other transplant recipients have reported major behavioral changes, only to discover later that they had begun speaking and behaving like their donors. |

 It is one of the main grains fed to livestock, and only a small amount is used for human consumption, mainly for beer and other foods. Barley kernels must be first polished or "pearled" to remove the inedible hull. Barley malt is a fundamental ingredient in making beer.
A Serving of Food Lore...
The actual origin of barley remains unknown but many researchers believe it came from China or Ethiopia. Archaeologists have discovered that barley was one of the first grains domesticated in the Fertile Crescent by Egyptians some 10,000 years ago. |

 As any beer maker knows, the fermentation process works by combining yeast with sugar. The warmer and moister the environment (like our gastrointestinal and vaginal tracts), the more robustly the yeast can reproduce, especially when it's fed a lot of sugar. And so, although men can also develop yeast infections, women are at least three times more likely to get them, because female hormone fluctuations make women more hospitable hosts. |

BUGLEWEED
Botanical Name
Lycopus americanus, L. europaeus, L. virginicus Family
Lamiaceae (Mint Family) Etymology
The genus name, Lycopus, derives from the Greek lykos, "wolf," and pous, "foot," in reference to the shape of the rhizomes. |
| Edible Uses
The inner bark can be used to make birch beer. It also can be dried and ground into flour or cut into thin strips and boiled as noodles. The young leaves and catkins can be eaten fresh in salads. The sap of the tree can be made into wine, syrup, or vinegar.
Birch bark has been used as paper; in ancient times it was used to make clothing, shoes, and containers. The fresh leaf wards off bugs and was once used as a strewing herb, and smaller birch branches were used for broom handles. A tar made from birch is used to waterproof leather. |

 In Ireland, Guinness beer ads weave alcohol into the nation's character with such advertising slogans as "It's Part of Who We Are." Still other types of advertising around the world associate alcohol with sophistication, sports, and being one of the guys.
Between 2001 and 2004, in the United States alone, the makers of alcoholic drinks spent almost $3.5 billion on television advertising and almost $1.5 billion on magazine advertising. Much of the advertising is directed at young adults who often lack judgment about alcohol abuse and the risks of addiction. |
| A small amount, such as a glass of wine or beer, can produce an enjoyable, relaxing effect and can take the edge off a stressful day. A little more can markedly reduce inhibitions, making a person talkative or more interested in having sex. A large amount of alcohol can interfere with male sexual performance, slow reflexes and impair driving, turn intelligent conversation into slurred words and disconnected thoughts, and have a mood-depressing effect. In some people, alcohol's inhibition-reducing effect can set the stage for angry outbursts and physical violence. |
