Jeez, the kids are saying Hillary is sending a bad example...

I won't dwell on the hypocrisy of an incredibly wealthy woman whose tastes run to expensive wines, pretending she's a regular person by publicly drinking beers and swallowing a shot.

Any alcoholic beverage can be abused, but generally folks don't drink beer to get drunk; they enjoy a frosty one with a pizza to relax and unwind after a hard day's work.

Nobody would accuse a candidate of sending the wrong message by savoring a lager in a bar or restaurant; beer is as American as Mom and apple pie.

But taking a shot is a horse of a different color-- it sends the wrong message to many high school and college kids who are caught up in the party culture of drinking to get drunk.

You imbibe a beer to relax; you sip wine as a compliment to a fine meal; but, nine times out of ten, you swallow a shot to get drunk.

Anybody who has attended college knows that there are a hundred and one games that involve taking a shot. My favorite one was the "Brady Bunch shot game." We swallowed I forget how many shots, and then each one of us had to sing the theme song to the Brady Bunch. The intoxicated fool who crooned the song the fastest and made the fewest errors won. Now, every time I hear the "Brady Bunch" theme song, I automatically throw my head back as if I'm swallowing a shot.

Drinking to excess is a major problem on college campuses-- shame on you, Hillary Clinton, for sending our children the wrong message.

1. I'm not a drinker, but isn't mixing beer & whiskey a recipe for a hangover?

2. I wouldn't know...but when my ex used to do his Crown Royal

he looked like it tasted awful enough that you needed to chase it down with something.

He was God awful with peer pressure too.
