Denver off the Wagon

[Disclaimer: I have a strict brewski policy. Once I have a beer, the day of skiing is done (or at least extremely delayed). This is in contrast to my typical policy of day drinking with a beer being acceptable at 10am.]

That said, to your logic, I’d say true.

I’d also add the following:

d) consumption as way of remedy is dependent upon the previous night’s activity [4]
e) Ted Nugent’s “Stranglehold” [5] is playing at your 11am water break stop
f) weather outside is frightful [6], but the fire is so delightful

An addendum to your [2] footnote: understand that anything cold after a day of skiing does pretty damn well. Please also reference similar situations when light beers are most advantageous (ref: Beer pong, flip cup, quarters, landmines, and any other drinking game, really.)

[4] consequence of said activity is based on the variance of gender, weight, and rate of consumption
[5] the Nuge or really any other bad ass song. Bad-ass song being totally subjective, of course.
[6] frightful defined loosely, of course, but sleeting rain does fall in this category. At which, please switch to whisk(e)y.
