Subject: Fw: Alcohol Consumption----FDA Warnings

 

 

Alcohol Consumption -- FDA Warnings...

 

Due to increasing products liability litigation, American beer Brewers have accepted the FDA's suggestion that the following warning  labels be placed immediately on all beer containers:

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol is a major factor in dancing like an idiot.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love  them.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you can sing.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to believe that ex-lovers are really dying for you to telephone them at four in the morning.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you have mystical Kung Fu powers, resulting in you getting your ass kicked.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to roll over in the morning and see something really scary.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol is the leading cause of inexplicable rug burns on the forehead/knees.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to believe you are invisible.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are laughing WITH you.

 

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause a disturbance in the time-space continuum, whereby gaps of time may seem to literally disappear.
