Fun fact: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a bunch of science fiction books.
They feature an impossibly annoying, arrogant asshole named Professor Challenger, who keeps saving the world from various cosmic horrors while being an insufferable prick about it the whole time.

Wow. This is a shock.
The oldest homebrew shop in America is closing. FH Steinbart was not just a small business, though—it was a critical part of the connective tissue that helped make Portland Beervana.

Just wait till some biologist professor gets in trouble because a student claims a religious belief that evolution doesn't exist or a physicist professor because a student says the world is only 6,000 years old. It'll be the death of higher education in the US and the start of a theocracy.

I also can't help but believe that this is targeted against the professor because they're queer. This is exactly what happened in Texas. It's a witch hunt to push LGBTQ people out of academia.

I do not drink because I have almost no tolerance for it anymore (one margarita is too much).
If you are hosting a party, I recommend also stocking:
-fancy ginger beer
-coconut water
-premium juices like lychee and guava
-apple cider with cinnamon
-Italian sodas
-sparkling water
Lots of options!
