Star Wars Bar Drink on Movie.
Star Wars Bar Drinks on Movie.
Dr. Wetbrain walked into the living room and saw a weird hairy creature. “Harold, why are you dressed like a very short Chewbacca?” The Dr. questioned.
“It’s May 4th. May the 4th be with you.” Harold replied.
“Sick. You are all ready for the Star Wars marathon tonight.” Wetbrain mentioned and continued.
I love the bar scene from the movie Star Wars, A New Hope, Episode IV.
On the planet Tatooine there is an alien filled, dimly lit tavern with very cool looking aliens, strong drinks and modern jazzy music.
The famous bar is named ‘The Mos Eisley Cantina’ and filled with unique alien customers listening to a song called ‘Mad bout Me’ and performed by Bith aliens called, ‘The Cantina Band’.

Dr. Wetbrain's Sake Story.
Dr. Wetbrain’s Sake Story.
Dr. Wetbrain says that he never tried Sake. But tasting this libation is on his bucket list. “Now I must make a trip to Japan”, he would conclude. Of course, Dr. Wetbrain knows a thing or two about Sake.
Sake is a Japanese wine that is made by fermenting polished rice. Even though Sake is considered a wine the brewing process is more like making beer.
Wine has an alcohol content of 9 - 18%; beer 3 - 9%; Sake 18 - 20%; whiskey 35 - 40%; moonshine has lots of percentage.

Admiral Edward Russel's Party.
Admiral Edward Russel’s Party.
On Christmas Day, 1694, there was a young boy paddling a very small canoe in a very large garden fountain.
The fountain was not filled with water. No, it was filled with over 2600 liters of a punch. This little bowl of punch consisted of 250 gallons of brandy, 125 gallons of wine, 20 gallons of lime juice and 1400 pounds of sugar.
These poor canoe paddlers would keep mixing the punch with the paddles and giving drinks with a ladle to all the party goers. Wouldn’t that be a chore! But due to dizziness from the alcohol fumes these young paddlers would get replaced every 15 minutes. Like they had a watch then!

Climate Change And The Beer Shortage.
Climate Change and the Beer Shortage.
“Harold you are spilling out a 1/8th of a bottle of beer! What are you doing? That’s alcohol abuse.” Dr. Wetbrain yelled.
“Spit, backwash”, Harold remarked.
“That’s no excuse. Don’t you know a beer shortage is coming thanks to climate change?” Wetbrain concluded.
Sure, the barley crop was plentiful at one time until the climate change effect came into view. Drought and heat waves are the main culprits in depleting the barley harvest. Droughts, heat waves, floods, hailstorms, grasshoppers’ migration, wildfires (smoke) all have contributing factors to climate change and the production of the most popular alcohol drink – BEER.

Alcohol Prohibition Penalties.
Harold listening to a podcast on his earbuds spoke up loudly like he is deaf. “Wetbrain! People are getting whipped for having a drink of whiskey. W.T.F.”.
Through the history of alcohol there were alcohol prohibitions in certain countries. These days mostly prohibition is in Muslim territories with severe penalties.
There is a small town in Alberta, Canada. Raymond, Alberta with a population of 4000 has a type of alcohol prohibition where you can not possess or purchase alcohol or be fined.
Then there is the famous United States Alcohol Prohibition from 1920 to 1933 where there will be NO manufacture, sales and transportation of any alcohol products. First offence had a penalty fine up to $1000.oo and up to 6 months jail. 2nd offence we are looking at $5000.oo fine and up to 1 year imprisonment. $1000.oo in 1927 is now worth $23000.oo. WOW!

Hangover And A Cure Or Two.
Hangover and a Cure or Two.
Both waking up at the same time, slowly lifting their heads off the booze-soaked table were sitting Harold and Dr. Wetbrain. Looking at each other cross-eyed, Wetbrain decides to tell Harold all about hangovers, again.
A hangover is basically a form of alcohol poisoning and has been around since alcohol was stumbled upon for stumbling purposes. Recently in Tbilisi, Russia 8000-year-old jars with wine traces were found.
What happens after a good drunk is your body tries to get rid of alcohol through peeing and sweating taking much of your needed H2O with it. So now your body can’t get enough water from its regular source, so your system must steal the water from other parts. Like your brain cells, thus creating a lovely headache. Dehydration also causes muscle cramps, thirst, dizziness and fatigue. Thus, the hangover.
The myth of coffee sobering you up does not work. That just keeps you as a wide awake drunk when you probably should be passed out.

Putin Is a Dink, Beer.
Putin Huylo.
Dr. Wetbrain at the liquor store came across a 4 pack of beer with a very cool looking label. Had to buy it for research purposes.
Ends up that this beer is produced around the world due to the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine which started February 24, 2022. A Ukrainian beer called ‘Putin Huylo’. Roughly translated as ‘Putin is a Dink’.
