MADD president: Modern Drunkard mag is "just plain stupid"

DENVER — Every hour is happy hour at Modern Drunkard magazine.

It's barely 3 p.m., and Frank Kelly Rich, who edits the bimonthly homage to getting soused, is draining his gin and tonic and eyeing a whiskey bottle on the top shelf. Moments later, he's drinking that as well.

A huge bar dominates the office, the fridge is stocked with beer and the handful of employees is invited to drink. Smoking is OK too.

As the booze flows, Rich, 41, extols the virtues of alcohol, calling it a boon to mankind while claiming that drunks are an "oppressed minority."

Nothing can knock him off message.

What about cirrhosis of the liver? "There's a tidal wave of new evidence that drinking is actually good for you," he insists.

3. MADD is just plain nutz

Another group of christers who think that anything that feels good, tastes good, or is any way enjoyable is a sin and should be outlawed. They do it under the guise of some great moral crusade, but it's really about controlling your life.

To hell with MADD and the rest of the neo-prohibitionists.

6. MADD is just another self-promoting group

7. and so they're publicizing it...WHY exactly?

The way to handle this is to ignore this mostly unknown publication, not to give them a national airing by screaming, "Ain't it awful" at the top of one's lungs.
