101 years ago today, after it was ratified a year earlier on 16 January 1919, prohibition officially goes into effect, with the passage of the Volstead Act (also known as National Prohibition Act).
It's better to pass into that other world with full passion and glory than to fade and wither dismally with age.

How a small, unremarkable country came to dominate the world of beermaking
Sehubungan dengan mikol (akronim dari "minuman beralkohol"---lebih beradab dikit dari "miras/minuman keras", mind you), sejujurnya saya bingung harus mendiskreditkan si Bapak Dirjen Bea Cukai, Anwar Suprijadi, atau gimana. Manuver bersih-bersih beliau terhadap jajarannya memang lumayan ampuh menekan tingkat pat-gulipat, efektif mengurangi korupsi yang telah amat kronis merasuki departemennya. Namun di sisi lain saya---dan pasti juga sejawat penggemar mikol sekalian---jadi kelimpungan banget karena gerak berantas KKN tersebut merembet kepada minimnya ketersediaan booze di pasaran.
Jangankan bermimpi mengkonsumsi Jim Beam Black---apalagi edisi khusus Jim Beam yang lain yang juga yum yum: Jacob Beam---bisa dapet wiski yang standar aja macem Red Label, wih, di Bali tuh susah banget. Kalopun ada, duh gusti, harganya udah anjing melambung. Sempat melangit hingga Rp 500 ribu, kemudian nyungsep lagi ke Rp 350 ribuan. Itu aja masih mahal sebab biasanya sekitar Rp 135 ribuan. Gokil.
Jika di negara macam Amerika Serikat penduduknya hanya bisa menikmati musim panas cuman beberapa bulan saja---apalagi Skandinavia, sudah musim panasnya sangat pendek, yang namanya musim panas juga sebenernya masih bikin Melayu seperti kita menggigil kedinginan; sebaliknya di Nusantara matahari hampir tak pernah berhenti bersinar. Bahkan di musim hujan sekalipun. Nah, kalo panas-panas gitu enaknya ngapain? Dari sudut pandang pendosa, jawaban yang paling menggugah adalah: MINUM BIR DINGIN.
Berikut adalah panduan yang disusun oleh tim Men.Style.Com untuk memilih bir yang syahdu untuk dicleguk saat sang surya terik menyengat, lengkap dengan tingkat kompleksitas kandungannya, tingkat kenikmatan clegukan (chuggability), hingga, ahem, "snob value"-nya segala. Tentunya semua daftar nama-nama bir di sini adalah yang sesuai dikonsumsi bahkan ketika tengah hari bolong sekalipun---mengambil quote dari Men.Style.Com soal bir yang ideal untuk hot season:
» ...lighter, crisper, and typically lower in alcohol so you can drink 'em all afternoon and stay upright, the best summer beers are custom-tailored for warmer weather... «
![THE STONES CRAWDADDY-O
On this date in 1963, The Rolling Stones started a Sunday night residency at The Crawdaddy Club, located at the back of The Station Hotel in Surrey, England.
The Stones were paid £24 ($41) for the gig. This first gig was not a commercial success; Giorgio Gomelsky, the club promoter, had to plead with customers of the main hotel to attend, offering two entries for the price of one ticket—it ended up with a total of 66 people.
And it was at the Crawdaddy Club The Stones met The Beatles on 14 April 1963. “Halfway through the set we kind of glanced up, and there were four silhouetted leather-clad persons standing just in front of the bandstand in amongst all these kids who were all dancing and playing around,” Bill Wyman recalled, noting that John, Paul, George and Ringo were “being totally ignored by the audience.” “I turned round to Charlie [Watts], and I said, ‘It’s the Beatles!’ They’d had two or three big No. 1 hits and they were like the rave of England at that time. So when we finished our set, we got chatting to them and had beers, and they stayed for the second set."
After the show, the two groups went back to the Chelsea flat shared by Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, and Keith Richards. "We hung out all night playing blues music, just talking about music and became great mates.”
