Aren't we? I'm sitting in my garage brewing dipa and drinking 5 different beers. My father wasnt able to buy anything different than lager/pale and there is me 20!years later with hundreds of bottles of homebrew and much more to chose from LS in walking distance. Beside that life expectancy is up, infant mortality down, standard of living is up [this is actually not true] we got more cancer but because we live longer. I feel this should be moved to drunken rumbling but aren't we lucky? As hell?
