A quick update...

Hello Better Libationers!

As you may have noticed, we`ve taken the liberty of upgrading a few things, including our domain name. You can now find us at http://www.betterlibations.com/. Drink submissions will now be emailed to drinkme@betterlibations.com, while love letters, death threats, and random advice can be sent to either Danithius@betterlibations.com or Wiseguise@betterlibations.com.

I haven`t posted for the last two weeks because I`ve been away on a little excursion to the Land of the Rising Sun. I just needed to get away from the high-fructose rat race for a while, you see. How unhappy I was when I discovered some of my favorite drinks out here have the Devil`s Sweetener in them, too! (I had some nagging suspicions, I just never knew for sure - mostly because, well, the ingredients are in Japanese.) So that has cast a slightly sticky shadow on an otherwise wonderful vacation. That, and the Ninjas.

But never fear, I`ll be back in the states soon with some special edition Far Eastern reviews! Stay tuned!
