I don't anticipate intoxication at my network card, since the beer is
properly sealed, but I am concerned about the consequences of packet loss
along the way - if routers on the backbones start tippling from those lost
packets, who knows where my e-mail will wind up?  Some network hardware
could even develop a dependency and actually start *stealing* packets :-)
