Two Beers Per Week?

 President Biden's health 'expert' came out this week and said that there should be a limit of two beers per week.

He didn't say a law or sales limit should occur....just that you should only drink two beers a week.  Oddly, he didn't even say low-or-moderate alcohol content....just two beers.

I pondered over this.

I grew up in a dry county (rural north Alabama) and most people would readily say they drank zero beers, but behind a closed door....admit to driving to the state line and consuming four to eight beers over a four-hour period....every Saturday evening.

Wouldn't it have been more appropriate for the guy to suggest a McDonalds menu limit of 1,200 total calories?  Or perhaps.....suggest that only half-a-Coke-can per day would be more appropriate?  Or perhaps suggest no more than 3 pancakes with syrup per week?

How did beer come into a political discussion?  By accident or design?

It's just an odd conversation.  

What'll happen here?  Well....two beers could be in a regular containers....or in mega-containers (1-liter size).....so I'm guessing extra-large beer cans will be the outcome here.....24 ounces per can.  A full-liter can?  Well....that would be 33 ounces.

On Maui, just a lot of odd things to factor in. Several locals made a comment about the previous two or three days prior to the fire....an odd haze (suggesting like dust) over the affected area. No chatter about air quality in this period, so it begs the question...what the hell was the haze?
