Not that I'd want to discourage anyone sending beer to anyone, but... Though perhaps well outside the mainstream US beer drinkers normal experience there are a good variety of barley wines, Trappist type ales, bocks and doppelbocks available in the US. The whole category of high test beer is a fav of mine, and I'd agree you shouldn't need more than a couple of fingers to know when you've had enough. Personally, I'd say it's more like: select limit from beer where type in ( 'Barley wine', 'Trappist', 'Bock', 'Doppelbock' ) limit ------ 1 -- Peter Hunsberger -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
