That's a problem inherent in the category.

Yeah, alcoholic drink is the 1 category I haven't even made any sort of board for because the category is so broad I'm not even concerned about it at the moment.

Pick incoming.

Luckily for us, D1iab is an Aussie and their beer is absolute piss.

I am going to take a show so popular that 3 cartoon villains were chosen from it. The show 1st aired in 1989, & according to Ranker, 10 of the top 11 seasons were in the 1990s (1989 finished 10th).

I get the entirety of the heyday of this iconic show, which was in production for the entirety of the decade. Seinfeld didn't even air for 19 months in the '90s. Other shows have even bigger problems.

There's only 1 other show I would consider for this category, & many of you might think it's a dumb choice, so I'll go with...

The Simpsons

Looks like the #1 pick is losing already

Not harsh enough. It's a terrible awful pick & it's bad & you should feel bad. Trying to get into the spirit of this.

Don't really want to include direct references from UNDRAFTED show that had a hell of a 9 month run in the 90s...

I love <Redacted> as much as anybody, but anybody who takes it for that category deserves to lose almost as much as eyebooger.

I solidly oppose this. Far too broad imo.
Much more broad than "Mexican Food" and that was pretty summarily denied last game.

Otherwise I could draft [Undrafted], someone else drafts [Undrafted], and finally [Undrafted] we could somewhat reasonably draft 99% of all possible choices here.

Beer for alcoholic drink is fine imo. It's a pretty good pick, but if you think it ruins the category for the next 11 picks, LOL. There's tons of booze out there.

If I'm not allowed beer then I would want The Simpsons, it was next on my list.

I think if there were objections to beer they should have come sooner than this.

"Drunk Food" and picking "Mexican Food" is very different from "Beer" for "Alcoholic Drink"

If the category was "Soft Drinks" Would I be allowed to pick "Orange Juice" or would you make me pick a specific brand like "Tropicana Orange Juice"?

Picking "juice" instead of "orange juice" would be a better comparison.

I thought THIS was an interesting article about that record.

Cliff's:
* Other team's Center didn't play because he was hung over
* He took 63 shots & 32 free throws.
* Teammates passed up open shots to force feed him the ball.
* His team intentionally fouled the other team during the 4th quarter to make sure they got the ball more so he could score more.

Malcolm Gladwell would have some thoughts, I'm sure.

It was still on my short list, but that stuff bumped it from #1 down a couple spots because it feels like a manufactured record rather than a naturally occurring one.
