The New York Post was one of several papers to announce that Uncle Joe’s “alcohol czar” is pushing the FedGov to adopt “recommendations” that Americans limit themselves to two beers a week.

Who’d a thunk it? Uncle Joe’s regime has an “alcohol czar” now? Are shortages of booze soon to follow, as such things seem to? Prices soar?

But this is “keeping up with the Jones'” isn’t it? If Justin Trudeau, spiritual if not actual son of Fidel, is pushing it in Canada (and has been since January), then of course the FedGov and its nannies must. As the story says, currently USDA recommends two beers for men, one for women, a day. So this would theoretically reduce the level of “healthful” consumption by 86%. And Anheuser-Busch thought things were already bad!

But guidelines and recommendations by government have a way of turning into mandates. This isn’t prohibition, but… And if the CBDC and social credit scoring really comes to the Fifty States, there might be a way to try and enforce such a “guideline.” Picture your iPhone telling you, “Buddy, you just hit your limit for the week: try again next Friday.”

One comment already heard is that apparently, Uncle Joe’s handlers are trying to push Americans to rebellion.

The war on our liberties is always ramping up. What’s next? For that matter, you have to point out the war on our economy is doing well, too.
