Beer

[sschind]

I found in life the best beer is free beer LOL

No way, I remember a Bud distributor having free Bud and Bud Light nights at one of the local establishments when I was in college.  I'd pay for my Leinenkugels any day before I'd drink free Bud or Bud Light and I enjoyed the look on the faces of the reps when I told them.

Me  "I'll have a leinie's please"
Sales rep "its free Bud and Bud Light tonight"
Me "I know"
Sales rep - stupid look on his face
Me- enjoying a good beer

My philosophy "Life is too short to drink cheap beer"

Most ales have silicates in them. Silicates help to give cells structure and retain water. Silicates strengthen hair and give skin it's shine and healthy glow. Ask any of the ladies on the chew or the gossip shows where they sit around and yap and they will expound the benefits of silicates for good skin tone and hair strength.

And then they all go out and drink red wine which is only good for giving one volumes of gas.

I have one beer each evening for the nutrient benefits and to keep my business healthy.

It helps my business because the beer lets me forget which customers were jack asses and so I still answer the phone whence they call.

One beer does that for you.   It take me at least a six pack.  My customers must be bigger jack asses than yours.

Have not had a beer since 1991.  Did not like nothing but the ales. Could drink a case of little kings everynight. Now you know why I dont drink now. I was called a working drunk. Never missed a day of work.

[LizStreithorst]

I should follow in your footsteps and quit.  I once quit for 25 years.  ATM, I perfer to keep on with by beer drinking.  If I get to caring about myself more I suppose I'll have to quit again. 

Yes, the Ale's are the best, but I'll drink swill.  Any beer is better than no beer.

You guys and your silly obsessions with alcoholic beverages....

I do not like alcoholic beverages, and I'm not even old enough anyway, lol.
I prefer sparkling grape juice. xD

I used to draw the line at Hamm's beer....damn that stuff was awful.....yuk..
I haven't had a drink since July 1988....got rid of some ghosts with the help of a few good vet friends, and pulled the plug....I'd likely be dead now if I hadn't........

[Frank The Plumber]

A vice must be committed to with respect to quality.

Drink...drink the best.
Smoke..smoke the best.
Women...only the best.
Cars...only the best.

In this way if you can not afford the best...you can not have the vice.

If the vice begins to destroy you...it will remove your capacity to enjoy it as the best it can be. Therefore you shall not alter from it.

In vices one must respect one's self enough to only have the best.
