Sufferers from epilepsy, hemophilia and other conditions that often prompt discrimination were comforted by the court's opinion. But it was AIDS patients who appeared to be the biggest winners, as the decision was a clear repudiation of the Justice Department's view on AIDS discrimination. The department had argued that an employer may discriminate against workers purely on the basis of fear that they could spread a disease, even if that fear is irrational.

In my opinion, this slogan is counter-productive because it seems to rule out any consumption in late a.m. and early p.m. hours, a prime brew-swilling period. The images that flashed before my eyes left me equally cold. Unless your idea of a hot night on the town consists of sitting in a neon-lit disco and watching Phil Collins' hairline recede, this brand fails to reach the acceptable level of sociability...
