If you ever needed a reason to restrict your drinking, this may be it

Just when you thought you could enjoy a can of beer in peace, you are reminded that British alcohol conglomerate Diageo — maker of Guinness — joined the growing movement of “woke” corporations trying to re-engineer society by pushing transgenderism.
A cringeworthy holiday ad for J&B Scotch whiskey re-emerged on social media Tuesday in the wake of the nationwide protests against Anheuser-Busch for using transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney to promote its Bud Light beer line.
In a whiskey commercial that aired in Spain over the Christmas season, an elderly man is seen sneaking a tube of lipstick from his wife’s handbag and applying it to his lips in secret.
He is then shown shopping for makeup at a store and scouring a women’s beauty magazine for tips on how to apply makeup.
The senior citizen applies eye shadow, lipstick, mascara and blush while admiring himself in a mirror behind a locked door.
When someone knocks on the door, he quickly wipes the makeup off his face and hides his cosmetics bag.
As the video continues, the elderly man’s makeup application improves with practice.
At a family Christmas gathering, the senior citizen is reunited with his grandson, a 26-year-old man named Alvaro.
While family members set the dinner table, the grandfather takes the young man to his room and lovingly applies makeup to his face.
When the duo emerges from the room, the grandson, who is shown wearing full face makeup, presents himself to his family as his grandfather proudly looks on.
A caption re-introduces Alvaro to the audience as “Ana.” His teary-eyed grandmother then stands up and warmly embraces “Ana.”
I’m pretty sure that Diego used to have its headquarters in Old Greenwich, next to the OG Tennis Academy, but I don’t know where it’s based now. But it’s certainly still in business: in addition to Guinness and J&B scotch, it owns and dispenses all sorts of other brands: like the transgender conspiracy, it’s everywhere.
• Johnnie Walker whiskey.
• Smirnoff vodka.
• Captain Morgan gin.
• Ciroc vodka.
• Tanqueray gin.
• Crown Royal whiskey.
• Ketel One vodka.
• Don Julio tequila.
• Baileys Irish cream liqueur.
(I’ll just note here that our beloved Mickster, Guinness connoisseur and grandfather or 16 (or thereabouts) has lately been spending an increasing amount of time in Spain. Coincidence? I’d like to think so.)
