A History of the World in Six Glasses

The series hits the importance typically missed about something which lies at the core of human history. First, I was marvelously pleased at the cast. Dan Aykroyd, in spite of his preference to vodka, is always a magnificent presence. Jim Belushi, Jon Lovitz, Kevin Neilon and George Wendt who I loved in "Cheers." How could you go wrong? Covers a full range of beverages including even soda pop, where they made one of few mistakes in claiming that Coca Cola is Coca Cola, wherever it is made it's all the same. Sadly America has figured out a way to ruin it, by substituting corn syrup for sugar. Go out an buy a Mexican Coca Cola and you'll be amazed! Be that as it may, the program is filled with interesting wisdom presented artfully by these characters. At one point Akyroyd actually borders on conservatism when he.says, "Once.something emerges that's useful and fun, the government gets involved.. And pretty soon beer was taxed, and beer bureaucrats popped up. Like everything fun, beer got regulated." Sad truth. In any case, even if you don't care a hoot about adult beverages, this series is well worth the watch. Outstanding.
