On behalf of Delta Tau Chi, I formally object to the disparagement of beverage alcohol in general and distilled spirits in particular

Posted by: DTXbro (a.k.a SenJohnBlutarsky) on Jul 19, 21:24 in response to Antibody's post Speaking of JSTIL, what's with selling out for Stoli Vodka?!

Alcohol beverages are healthful products that make life better, which explains why they have been an important part of better civilizations for as long as man has been civilized.  Moderate consumption of alcohol is more healthful than abstinence -- moderate drinkers live longer, healthier lives than teetotalers.  (Abuse, however, corrodes nearly every system of the body and is deplorable.)

Also on behalf of Delta Tau Chi and all people who are even modestly fun to associate with, I must note a personal observation of the high correlation between people who shun alcohol (and especially those who propose to impose their nanny-state preferences on others) and life members of the "no fun of any kind" club.  Even the Omegas were above neoprohibitionism!  Jeez! 

So long as celebrities are hawking fast food, video games, soft drinks, organized religion, diamonds, and a dozen other questionable products, there will be better targets for scorn that a celebrity promoting an alcohol beverage brand.

Now, I suggest you all start drinking heavily.  Trust me.  I was pre-law.

Speaking of JSTIL, what's with selling out for Stoli Vodka?! {nm} Antibody Jul 19, 12:01

Don't understand your point?? What's wrong with Stoli Vodka?? CZETA whores for Vorizon. Any number of A List stars **** in to Vashta Nerada Jul 19, 12:32

She's a predominant indie actress hawking hard alcohol. CZETA's much older. EPAGE doing Cisco would be a better comparison, even then it's Antibody Jul 19, 12:34

So it's a moral issue. Gotcha. She's 30 years old just how old to you have to be to sell hard alcohol? Never knew EPAGE was doing Cisco. Vashta Nerada Jul 19, 12:57

She's losing cred as a serious actress doing so. Do you know any other serious actors selling hard alcohol in the US? Antibody Jul 19, 13:04

Next thing you know, women will want to be able to vote and stuff like that. What is this world coming to? {nm} Hooray360 Jul 19, 13:11

I'm pretty sure 10 episodes of Dexter will do more for her cred then anything she's done in the last 5 years. I'm not sure young people even Vashta Nerada Jul 19, 13:55

If that's the case, why isn't every agent telling their client to sell out for hard alcohol? {nm} Antibody Jul 19, 14:12

It is a product that is legal in all 50 states for those 21 or older. It isn't like she's pimping crack. {nm} Hooray360 Jul 19, 14:25

If it doesn't have a stigma, again why hasn't any more Hollywood actor done it? {nm} Antibody Jul 19, 14:30

There are obviously some who dont feel it is a stigma. To me, Stoli is a quality product, Julia a quality actress; makes perfect sense to me islander Jul 19, 14:39

Why haven't any more actors done commercials for Home Depot? Or Microsoft? Or iPods? Hooray360 Jul 19, 14:40

Many actors have done commercials for Retail Stores, COmputers and Electonics. Alcohol is a new frontier. Antibody Jul 19, 14:54

Since it is a new frontier, not many actors would have done ads before. Somebody has to be first. Hooray360 Jul 19, 15:10

That's my point, she coulda been the next Meryl Streep. Critics see her as a serious actress, not a party girl. {nm} Antibody Jul 19, 15:26

My motto, and i think it's the only one you should live by, is "If you use it, it's ok to sell it'. And that's across the boards, my friend Apokalips Jul 20, 00:48

Wow.. you know how long I knew about this? At LEAST two years... no bull. Glad they finally made it official. {nm} secretstalker Jul 19, 18:09
