Beer has always been measured in feet.
When I was a young buck I could walk back 25 - 30 feet of brew before I even started.
Why do you think road side sobriety tests make you walk a line , one foot in front of the other?
Or hold your foot up 6 inches from the ground?
.. yup in my day a shoe full or 2 after work .... a couple of boots on the weekend... not like today with those metro weenie “crocks” and such.
and don't think we didn't down a couple of hip waders once in a while.
.... get off my lawn ...
I remember when it was still legal to drive down the highway in Texas while drinking a beer.
We used to measure distances in rural Texas in beers, e.g., “That’s about three beers from here.”
