From the Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S.:


<B>Please Don't Call It "Booze."</B>
We realize the word "booze" may make shorter, catchier headlines. However, the problem in using "booze" and its derivatives is that they suggest excessive drinking. The overwhelming majority of American adults who choose to drink enjoy alcohol in moderation. <B>It's unfair to place a derogatory label on alcohol, a beverage that may be part of a well-balanced adult diet and lifestyle.</B>


Jeez.
