Get it out of your system

Whatever the case, remember “getting something out of your system” suggests totality as well as finality, emphasizing that you’ve got rid of something once and for all.

In other words, there’s no turning back. For example, you used to play a lot of computer games, a little more than what was good for your eyes, neck, shoulders and back. Fortunately for you, you got that out of my system a few years ago. These days, you may play a little with friends if they ask you to, but it’s not something you’d do alone, all day and night, as you did before. That kind of yen or yearning is no longer there.

Good for you, because you can do something else with your time, do something more productive and less stressful.

Alright, let’s read a few recent media examples of people getting one thing or another out of their system:

1. Big brewers have taken the unusual step of watering down their beer in Britain, and they’re hoping customers won’t notice.

The reason comes down to taxes. The “beer duty” is incredibly steep; about a third of a pint’s total price goes to taxes, the BBC reports.

But there’s a twist: The stronger the beer, the more taxes brewers have to pay. So the brewing industry is hoping to cut its tax burden with weaker beer, but not so weak as to lose customers.

Anheuser-Busch Inbev has cut the potency of Stella Artois, Becks and Budweiser, the BBC reports. OK, you can have a minute to joke about what a weaker Budweiser would taste like. Got it out of your system? Let’s move on.
