That's because in the States it always seems to run to extremes -- feast or famine, mink or monk. Either you can't buy liquor legally at all, or there is a liquor store on every corner. Either the bedsprings are squeaking every night, or people are making vows of chastity because of the fear of the remote chance of catching some disease. One minute they wink at ounce bags, the next they are busting kids for carrying a seed.

Try a little moderation in everything.
