One of the problems with Cinderella liberty, is the folks get a feeling that 
they have to make every second count, so they drink faster and heavier.  This
actually increases the incidents among the younger ones.  The other problem
is the ones who can stay out later, are less willing to take their 'junior'
folks out so that levening of 'more experienced' starts to go missing.

I remember when SSC San Diego (School command for juniors first in mostly) 
decided to shut down the club except Fri-Sat.  The idea was to keep students
from drinking during the week so they'd do better at class.

The actual impact was 1 of 6 would get a rental car (cheaper than cabs if all 6
kick in) so we started to have a DUI problem.  A later saner CO came in and 
reopened the clubs, but shut them down on all alcohol sales after 8pm (could
still drink your pitcher until 8:45 or so then they'd remove all undrunk 
alcohol from the tables).  They stayed open til something like 2am FRI-SAT but 
the rest of the time unless the next day was a holiday, they closed earlier.
It mostly worked to fix the problem.

On the pitter patters here between me and the neighbors, all calm now.  It was
funny a little bit ago as we each found some odd item we didnt have and 
suddenly wanted.

I have a mostly stocked kitchen now but it's Asiatic so she had to ruffle spice
bottles to find a sub for something she needed to adjust the olive dish around
the maderia swap.  I suggested some peeled grapes as she was looking for a 
fruity flavor.  Charlotte just trotted over 1/2 cup peeled red grapes ;-)
She dithered over fresh garlic or dried and decided to soak the dried in the 
wine for a bit.

For me, I think I have to adjust the smashed grapes and yam dish.  I used a 
tarter grape (red skin, green inside) and it's going to need sugar.  We are 
letting it develop fuller before we figure out how much adjustment it needs.
