Beer In Moderation?

I just read:
Lent officially ends with the beginning of the Triduum (three das) celebration of the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday evening. However, fasting is maintained on Good Friday and modesty in food on Holy Saturday.
Is it okay for me to practice moderation today???  Reason, I was just at Mark's, and he was about to start some more window tinting on Rusty... and he had lime and salt out... and it just seemed so refreshing.  I could help with the tinting like last week...

I'll confess that I tried Larry's homeade wine during Lent - three glasses over two days.  When somebody offers you the first glass of wine from the barrel - no excuses for breaking rules - but I broke the rule (I blame Dix blood (and Robert for driving 85mph)).  And since I broke it, I broke it again and again.  Three times!  And on the third time the rooster crowed.  Okay, there was no rooster... but Lent is officially over. It just seems like it shouldn't be over.  In this case, I vote for official tradition!

Weird, I got a headache and Kaley said the Dr. Pepper wasn't as good as she thought it would be.
