yea we all know how much alcohol makes people creative/artistic ..oh wait that's pot)... wine is nice though. you don't see wine companies giving thousands of dollars to anti legalization commercials so the competition is delayed until people one day realize the oppression isn't just hypocritical or negative economically but to continue to jail and degrade people from keeping or getting a job is wrong too...

BevShots is the brain child of researcher Michael Davidson, who first photographed crystallized drinks on a lab slide. The company maintains a catalog of microscopic slides of beer, wines and cocktails remade into art. Pictured here is whiskey. (Text: Katherine Butler)
