    That was a great read. Not sure what to think though after reading it. I suppose I'll remain nuetral with regard to alcohol in dark and cold places.

      Deadhorse, Alaska (beginning of the Alaska Pipeline, and as far north as one can go in AK) isn't neutral: no alcohol allowed, and it appears to be at least mildly enforced. Drunk oil workers where it's dark for three months? Yeah, Deadhorse decided that was a bad idea, apparently.
