I think Coors is King

I must have missed this in May:

Pete Coors apologizes in drunk driving case
The former Senate hopeful was stopped May 28 near his Golden home after a trooper said he ran a stop sign.

Missed this too:

When Coors ran for the Senate in 2004, he was criticized for advocating lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18.

Employee Alfredo Rodriguez, 56, drove for less than a mile on company grounds before he slammed into a utility pole, was thrown from his car and died.

Reports say Rodriguez consumed at least a case of beer.

An investigation revealed Rodriguez had been drinking on the job because open beer taps were available to employees in the cafeteria at Coors.

While I hate to fault such a progressive policy as, "beers in the cafeteria," it takes a while to drink a case and unless you're Andre the Giant, it's usually pretty hard to hide it. Somebody should have shut Mr. Rodriguez off and arranged for a ride home. I'm not sure that I could even start a car after consuming a case of beer. If you're going to provide beer you have to provide a ride home. Unfortunately, I'm sure this would spiral out of control and the employee drunk bus would be rather full on fridays.

In loosely related trivia:

"During World War II, Coors aided the war effort by setting aside half its beer for sale to the military. When the service men and women returned home to states outside of Coors' original 11-state marketing region, they spread the word about the beer's taste and quality -- which became known as the "Coors Mystique."

Reminds me of Gillette and Zippo, both of which were given to GI's.

And the spiral begins. What were we talking about?

"World War I caused the real explosion in volume, though. The Government of the United States equipped their entire armed forces with Gillette safety razors and thereby put more than three million razors and 32 million blades into circulation. That way, within a short period of time nearly every American got aware of the Gillette safety razor and its disposable blades."

In the late 1950's, a Zippo lighter was removed from the belly of a fish. The Zippo lighter lit the first time."
