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.

Hey let's make up our own!

"Please don't call it weed. Marijuana can be enjoyed by responsible adults in the privacy of their own homes for help with certain medical ailments. (Please consult your physician and your lawyer. And probably your physician's lawyer.) It's unfair to place a derogatory label on marijuana, a substance that can be part of a well-balanced adult lifestyle."

Part of my nutritious breakfast!

Fine, no more "booze". It's "stumble juice" for me.

Fine then. Hence forth, "Likker" as in "Likkered up."

What has society come to when even recreational beverages are joining the PC wars?

Heh, my college roommate and I used to shoot bottlecaps for beers ... we called 'em "aiming juice." I only said that though because I'd drink 12 and sink 10 caps in a row ... he could barely keep his ass in the chair. For him it was more like ... "retarded juice."
