...British pub and order a pint bottle of Magners Original - a premium cider brewed by Ireland's C&C Group - and be ready to cough up the princely sum of $7 to $8. That's as much or more than you'd pay for any other cider or beer on offer. But price be damned, say British drinkers, who are acquiring a growing thirst for ciders in general, and premium ones in particular. Cider consumption in Britain jumped 35% last year - an increase analysts have dubbed the Magners effect. That's a tribute to a brand that has reinvented...

This last feat was recently accomplished by two senior boys from Quincy House. Somewhat surprisingly, given the copious amounts of beer they had to keep on their persons, they were not found out by their adopted TF. Or maybe grad students really, really just don’t care...

...Also sure to be leaving DEI will be Anheuser-Busch, which hitched its beer wagon to Earnhardt in 2000. The Budweiser contract with DEI has an opt-out clause that will allow them to follow. Earnhardt also made it a point to express his loyalty to Chevrolet, whose nameplate he's raced under his whole career. The automaker has featured him prominently in its celebrity driven advertising campaigns. Were he to end up in another make, such as Toyota - which entered the Nextel Cup Series this season but has been embarrassed by poor performance and cheating scandals from the start...
