RE: orchids and other houseplants

Frank, the point is not to give the slugs a treat, but rather to intoxicate
them so they leave your plants alone.  I think they pass out, but the beer
doesn't kill them.  I have never actually seen a hungover slug, but I can't
imagine he'd have much energy to munch on your tulips with all that liquor
in them.
