Here is his picture on an inexpensive option that is a good value (at least as typically priced in the U.S.):

Besides, you can be responsible and drink.  You just have to manage when and where and how much you drink.  It is a little less fun that way, but it also has the advantage of minimizing hangovers.

Cheers!

When: whenever the sun is not in the sky.
Where: where ever you and alcohol share a point in space.
How much: till you can't remember your name

Responsible drinking according to the lemon.

Your rules are far too restrictive, and I will never comply with them.  Not drink when the sun is in the sky?  Are you completely mad?  How is one expected to get through the day?  How is one to have a complete, nutritious breakfast that includes the traditional screwdriver?  Do you get up before the sun rises?  Or do you simply advocate sleeping whenever the sun is in the sky?

If I were foolish enough to follow your rules, I would presently be sober.  And what would be the point of that?
