Back in 2000 I watched the Super Bowl at a bar in Tokyo. Some Americans were watching it LIVE with us, but because of the time difference, the bar was mostly vacant and it didn’t seem right to be sitting on barstools as the sun was coming up. Yet I still had the urge to buy a beer in order to watch the game.
If you think you have total self-control in your alcohol consumption but have to have a cold one in your hand during the game Sunday, or that it’s funny bars will be open early for Sunday’s London Packer game, it’s time for you to reconsider the power that alcohol has over a person.
