ast to your Success
In his poetic ponderings on the Pierian Springs (the mythological waters said to impart
understanding in arts and sciences) Alexander Pope wrote it is better to drink deep than
to taste not as “shallow draughts intoxicate the brain… and drinking largely sobers us.”
There’s a certain entrepreneur who also encourages consumers to drink deep, and with-
out fear, for he’s applied his acumen in science and business arts to create a revolutionary
line of beverages. In this case, the only thing intoxicating is the potential for success.
Here are some sobering facts about alcohol
consumption in the United States. Each
year, more than one million people are ar-

by the National Highway Traffic Safety Ad-
ministration, close to 10,000 people died in
drunk-driving related crashes during 2011
(that’s one person’s death every 53 minutes).
Drunk-driving costs the United States $132
billion dollars a year, but the costs associated
from the treating of health issues that arise
from alcohol dependence & abuse annually
costs this nation more than $200 billion, a
dollar amount significantly higher than costs
associated with the treating of obesity or
cancer.

ramifications to their own health and safety,

of consumption, but also something of a new
