    Don’t know Steven Tyler or what she did. but its not such a bad idea to give kids a save place to drink with some restrictions…

    they can and will drink one way or the other. just a question under what circumstances.

      Steven Tyler is/was the lead singer for the band Aerosmith, which had its peak in the 90s. He was born as, and identifies as, male.

      Steven is typically a masculine name…thought Stevie may be a feminine variety, i.e. Stevie Nicks, the singer/songwriter of solo and Fleetwood Mac fame. Coincidentally, they were born exactly two months apart…Steven Tyler on March 26, 1948; and then Stevie Nicks on May 26, 1948.

      Also, Stevie Nicks was married to two different members of the band “The Eagles” (at separate times, of course)…Don Henley from 1977-1978, and Joe Walsh from 1983-1986.

      She was also married to two different Fleetwood Mac members…Lindsey Buckingham (1972-1976) and Mick Fleetwood (1977-1979).

        “Stevie” is used as a diminutive form of the feminine name “Stephanie.” This is how Stevie Nicks uses it.

        Funny enough two bands that i like listening to. not my favourite bands, but in many of my playlists is some Aerosmith and/or Eagles.

        Just never really cared about the people: i like the music - that’s all i need to know.

        How was she married to two people at the same time? I’m too lazy to look it up. Don Henley from 1977-1978 and Mick Fleetwood from 1977-1979.

      Incidentally kids are drinking less than they used to, at least in North America.

        Adults, too.

        Especially in rec weed states. But with 1/8 of Americans currently taking a GLP-1 receptor agonist (i.e. Wegovy, Ozempic)…I would expect that to take a big toll, too.

        I am one of those 12%…I’ve lost 60lbs the past 3 months. I drink much less and when I do it’s not heavy IPAs and Sours…it’s Happy Dads (iced tea), Seltzers, or a glass of wine. Maybe a cocktail if I’m feeling fancy.

        One, a beer is just so damn filling. And my sense of taste no longer likes hoppy or sour. And it takes much less to get me drunk when I’m barely eating in the first place. And the medication itself can cause a bit of indigestion anyway so you kind of want to moderate more to begin with.
