    I'd like that last remark stricken from the record

    After a DUI arrest Homer gives up beer for a month.

    This is a strong episode with a decent message and plenty of humour.

    The moral tale at the heart of the plot is quite sweet and gives Homer a nice little arc.

    All the comedy works for me, particularly some of the school scenes.

    In Heaven There Is No Beer

    Homer gets a DUI and loses his license. Marge challenges him to avoid beer for a month, which he does, at great sacrifice. There are many pitfalls and temptations along the way. The subplot has Lisa doing amazing science projects only to have Bart destroy them. Good work all around.
