Does sex sell whiskey? Discuss.

I’ve always thought of 19th century Orientalist nudes as "respectable porn," and Jean-Léon Gérôme one of its foremost practitioners.

And other distillers did not hesitate to draw consumer attention with nekkid wimmin and Ladies of the Evening.

A 'pungent paragraph' indeed - so I can get camouflage nude-look knickers
(er - 'hip-harness'), bra ('bosom bolster') and callypigian camisole
scented with a permanent odor of hydrangea, hibiscus and old rubber boots?

Yep. It’s official. I will never, ever, be able to unsee this.

Well maybe you could skip the old rubber boots.

I hope not I thought that's what all guys want to see. Unfortunately she didn't go commando. I kinda liked to two old slobbering fools on the bench, one of them could easily have been me.

I’d be the one on the left.

From a certain city in the weird state of Wisconsin,
The Brown Bottle:. Just the KISS of the hops:. To the modern beer can:. Use your new refrigerator to cool the "Refreshing part of the party:". With Sunshine Vitamin D (to prevent ricketts?):. Drink Schlitz for year-round health:.

In the end, most importantly, drink Schlitz to get one of those beautiful Wisconsin girls:

PS: serious scientific question, is D really a Vitamin?

PS: serious scientific question, is D really a Vitamin?

Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate, and multiple other biological effects.[1] In humans, the most important compounds in this group are vitamin D3 (also known as cholecalciferol) and vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol).[2] Cholecalciferol and ergocalciferol can be ingested from the diet and from supplements.[2][3][4] Only a few foods contain vitamin D. The major natural source of the vitamin is synthesis of cholecalciferol in the skin from cholesterol through a chemical reaction that is dependent on sun exposure (specifically UVB radiation). Dietary recommendations typically assume that all of a person's vitamin D is taken by mouth, as sun exposure in the population is variable and recommendations about the amount of sun exposure that is safe are uncertain in view of the skin cancer risk.[5]

[Praefectus Praetorio]

A vitamin is a micro-nutriant that an organism needs for proper functioning of metabolism and cannot make in sufficient quantities itself.

Since the human body can make more than enough D with generous exposure to sunshine, it should be called a hormone, not a vitamin.

The body can make K, but not in sufficient quantity so it is a proper vitamin.

Mad magazine has a rich tradition of beer ad parodies. I'm certain they sent up Schlitz (“The Beer Milwaukee Made Illegal!"), but haven’t located it yet.

If you want to split hairs, you should do it properly
In some regions there is not enough sunlight to produce enough Vitamin D. So it will be substituted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D:

"Rickets was formerly a major public health problem among the US population; in Denver, where ultraviolet rays are about 20% stronger than at sea level on the same latitude,[39] almost two-thirds of 500 children had mild rickets in the late 1920s.[40] An increase in the proportion of animal protein[38][41] in the 20th century American diet coupled with increased consumption of milk[42][43] fortified with relatively small quantities of vitamin D coincided with a dramatic decline in the number of rickets cases.[1] Also, in the United States and Canada, vitamin D-fortified milk, infant vitamin supplements, and vitamin supplements have helped to eradicate the majority of cases of rickets for children with fat malabsorption conditions.[27]"
In regards to the Inuit and Eskimo their diet of whale, seal, and walrus blubber (vitamin D saturated fat), along with eggs and char (trout) are all rich in vitamin D. These northern peoples did not rely on the sun for vitamin D, they consumed it.

So wouldn´t it be right to say that in part of the world Vitamin D can´t be produced in sufficient quantities by the body itself and therefor is in these parts of the world a Vitamin?

It is a clearly debatable point. Where the human species evolved, Africa, it is difficult to not get enough sun. However, the species has migrated to areas of forest shade and far northern climes, where is it harder to get. The biggest single factor is the wearing of clothes and living inside in dwelling with limited sunlight penetration.

I would propose this argument. An early human in Africa clearly did not need to supplement D and it was not a vitamin. What if he then decided to live in a cave and never go outside, ordering take-out Chinese and watching Netflix. Did D suddenly become a vitamin?

It might also be pointed out that even in the far Northern Forest, certain linkies run around with so little clothes , that they do get enough D. (and, if caught, red hurdles which are a whole different kind of micro-nutrient)

That was a precautionary measure, based on experience...
