About this Book First of all, thank you for purchasing the How To Drink While Dieting handbook, I am positive that you will not be disappointed, and you will have hours of fun experimenting with and perfecting my (and now your) new cocktail recipes. Please use your new Mixologist powers for good to help friends and spread hap- piness and only slight intoxication. And please, oh please, oh please, when you are choosing to drink, please do not drive. Call a friend, call a taxi, call a relative, call an ex-lover, try the city bus, buy a skateboard, get some rollerskates, or even sleep inside a McDonald’s (hellooo breakfast), whatever you do, just please be responsible. Make Me A Promise... You know just like I do, that e-books of this nature are easily copied, shared, and passed around. But I worked very hard putting together all of this research, recipes, and bringing this book from an idea inside my tiny head into the world so that you could enjoy it. Plus, I make my living this way, please respect that. I think I am charging a very reasonable price, which you must agree with since you purchased it, so please, make me a promise that you will respect the work I did for you and not give this book away to your entire neighbourhood. If you know someone that’s interested, please direct them to the website so they can purchase the book and enjoy it as much as you will. All violations of the copyright below are subject to legal action, and legal action just gives more money to lawyers and takes it away from you and me, so let’s not go down that road. Thanks in advance for your respect and cooperation. Copyright © 2011 by State of Mind Media Inc.
