Guests take a dip in beer pool

An Austrian holiday resort is offering guests the chance to swim in a pool containing 42,000 pints of beer.

The Starkenber Beer Myth resort located in and around the medieval castle of Starkenberger in Austria's Tyrol region has filled seven 13ft long pools with the beer.

The management claims that beer baths heal various skin diseases.

However, some guests are said to have enjoyed drinking their favourite brew while swimming in the pools.

Manager Markus Amann, 23, said: "I would rather swim than swallow, as we serve enough of a cold, fresh tapped beer on the bars next to the pools."

Sure, a dip in a hot tub of beer would be cool, but I sure as heck ain't gonna drink it.

Obviously no one sane would drink the stuff after swimming in it.

Guess we're all sane here as it sounds like an amazingly bad idea.

Hey, you can soak tomorrows bar-b-q, get a beer butt shampoo, and smell like Kelsy's Pub all in one stop!!

BUT - becoming "puke drunk" brings a whole new set of problems to this party. :-)

I've gone down a slide into a pool full of red jello - but beer? Nope, I'd rather drink it :)

That reminds me of a joke....

Little Johnny is approached by the lifeguard at the public swimming pool.

"You're not allowed to pee in the pool," said the lifeguard. I'm going to report you."

"But everyone pees in the pool," said Little Johnny.

"Maybe, but not from the diving board!"

LOL, red jello. I've never done that, but knew someone who had some polymer drilling fluid dumped into their pool that basically turned it to jello. They spent weeks trying to get it all out.

It was about 10 years ago and it was a fund raiser for the local chapter of the Leukemia Society.

I won for best costume plus got the most pledges because absolutely NO ONE believed me when I described what my costume would be. My wedding dress!!! I had been divorced for many years at that point, and had no more use for the dress - so I thought it a worthy cause!!!!

One of the co-sponsors for the event was a local beer distributor - and all entrants got free beer all night!

And I'm quite sure you are adept at squatting in non-conventional places. You did go to college?

Another bad idea: high test liqour, 151 proof in a hot tub.
Would do wonders for people with acne problems, or seasonal acne breakouts..
(Would also burn like a ^#@$!!*)




Might be enough to kill people.

Actually, I have seen several facial masks made with either beer or wine... the acids exfoliate dead skin... same idea as with a milk-bath.
