Why Do Some Women Peel Labels Off Their Beer Bottles When At The Bar I peel the labels off because I'm offended as hell that the gov't puts safety warning labels on beer. Duuh, I know it's not the ideal beverage for enhancing brainpower & coordination. But I'm an adult, and at least up until a few years ago this was a free country, so leave me the hell alone, ya lilly-livered busybodies.
