If the world made decisions on a 2.5 beer buzz...

I don't know about you, but the world seems a lot kinder and gentler, after 2 and a half beers. A 2.5 beer buzz lowers your shields and opens your mind to alternative views. In fact, I might go as far to say a 2.5 beer buzz turns me into a flaming liberal with a Chomskyesque point of view. I've actually found myself arguing againt capitalism in this state.

Now a 4 beer buzz on the other hand, brings me back to my senses, and the neocons start to sound nice again.

It's wierd, but I like it.

I wonder what the world would be like if we felt like a 2.5 beer buzz all the time.

Nothing would get done. At least less than what already doesn't get done would get done.

What's a beer for you? A pint? 3dl? Half a liter? There's different measures for beer in different countries, and the percentage of alcohol also varies all the way from about 2 up to 12 percent.
I'd say, a 3 beer buzz (half a liter each, that would be about 50 US fl oz.) would render me open to a neocon ideology, whereas 7 or more pretty much renders me totally wasted and unable to converse even with my best friends

Oh, yes, I almost forgot: I'm talking about regular 5% alcohol beers.

As for decision making: I recommend moderate smoking of Mary Jane over collective booze-up.

yeah, the typical 5.5% beer, that's what I mean.

Ahhh the good 'ol days with Mary Jane. I think my days with her are long gone. Although she did give a lot of interesting ideas, some very coherent, intellectual and amazing thoughts, they always faded away like a dream if you didn't write them down or record them. And even if you did record these ideas, the recall of the idea was fuzzy, and lost it's potentcy, when Mary Jane was not with me.

I would probably still hang out with here every once in a while, but she makes me nervous anymore, and I guess we fell out of love, she lost the magic that she once had on me.

A beer in the states is typically 3-4% alcohol, and they come in anything from 12-oz. cans to 40-oz. bottles. (Sorry, I don't have any conversion tables in front of me right now, and I'm too lazy to look online.)
