If these could be in the form of peel-away durable paper, they could be collected for an entire set. Give soft drink makers worldwide a chance to endorse a cause, since the SG's warning about fœtal damage printed on alcoholic beverages may be subliminally sending the message to choose life and we'd not want such a publicity coup to fall solely to spirit bottlers, or sell it in the muslim world to conform to divine law.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Your evil self,

       If you tried to mandate this in the U.S., you'd have an Establishment Clause case on your hands. Personally, I'd find it very offensive, both for the religious endorsement and the implication that anyone who drinks is powerless over alcohol.

       lubbit, the problem with the straw s you end up sucking up all the alcohol off the bottom and the rest of the drink isn't as good (I'm talking mixed drinks here). Better to save the best till last.

       Cute prayer, but it says "God" - even though it's a prayer - some halfbakers would get riled up...
