Please Drink Responsibly

A while back, one of my friends had a great idea for a beer. You know how every company that sells alcoholic drinks in the US has to put something in their ads about "drinking responsibly" or telling customers to "enjoy responsibly" and phrases like that? I guess there's some regulation that the government created regarding the ads that requires companies to put that phrasing in there so that they won't be held responsible (ha ha! GET IT?!!) when their customers go out and act like total lushes. Well, my friend decided that it would be a good plan to make a beer and name it "Responsibly", so that even our competitors would be telling you to drink it!

So, in the spirit of good-natured competition that doesn't require testicle-shrinking steroids to be successful at, I have decided to have a contest of sorts. The contest is to design a logo for Responsibly beer. It can be pretty much any style, and I will be providing my own entry by the end of the week. Somewhere on the logo it should have the phrase "Please drink Responsibly", because not only will it satisfy the legal requirements of US sales, it will be good self-promotion.

I don't really have a prize for winning. Maybe I can send the winner a birthday card I found on clearance at CVS that says "Happy 80th birthday! You're somehow not dead!" It was all I could afford at the time, so shut up with your talk of "it's not my birthday" and "I'm not 80" and "but I'm already dead". Sometimes it's the thought that counts.

Contest entries will be accepted through whenever the fuck I feel like it. I'm kinda laid back with things like that. Entries will not be judged unless there are more than 5, and then the winners will be chosen by a trained elephant seal down at the Georgia Aquarium, so you can be sure it will be impartial.

So remember everyone, please drink Responsibly! Drink as much of it as you possibly can!
