I think what' s most important is that, besides that BrushChimp fella, we' re all in agreement about moderation. Even txhunter' s camp is understanding of alcohol, and even the most liberal camp has very little alcohol in it.

I would say to BC, that not wanting to drink before we hit the woods is not a sign that we can' t ' hold our liquor.' I can drink with the best of them... but when it comes to hunting, it' s just so much more important and powerful than anything alcohol can give me, that the alcohol is an annoyance more than anything else.

Bottom line, when I' m hunting, everything about me is focused on that. Anything going into my body had better be fuel to get me deeper, faster, quieter, stronger into the woods. Beer doesn' t help with any of the above, therefore it is definitely out.
