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."
It really was. The particualr bar where is was held had semi-adopted the Leukemia Society for all their fundraising events. And we came up with some hairbrained-ones at times.
But never thought of a swimming pool of beer - of course most of the folks there would have found that to be a form of alcohol abuse!!!!
That's a skill I picked up in HS...
Thank you - but it really wasn't so admirable on my part - I did it more out of spite than anything. Shortly before the event was announced my ex had created a very public and very embarassing scene in that particular establishment.........
My old GF (that you remind me of) had a knack for peeing in public fountains!
Hey, how did they get a picture of your pool house?
oh my i need to keep my mouth shut or terrible things will come out! too many strange and gross ideas running in my head from this one.
"I've gone down a slide into a pool full of red jello.."
Is that how you entered the wrestling ring? I've gotta get that video!
Wisenheimer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW - I had a beer in one hand a cigarette in the other!
Let it fly, Tantra, you are amongst like minded, twisted people!
Most jello wrestlers do have the balance to pull that off! ;-)
Actually, I loved the idea of your costume, great moments of spite are some of the best memories.
I have NEVER peed in a public fountain...
I have danced with public statues though.
The bump & grind, no less! ;o)
I dunno actually.
Sounds like a patented bad idea.
(Especially the 151 proof hottub I thought up lower down in this thread.)
Hot tub time limit of less than 5 minutes?
I have pictures of me dancing with a statue of Pope JP2 that secured my spot in h&ll - says my mother.
Moms wrong. You made JPIIs day!
She's been wrong about so much - I just assumed so.
ps... what will you do today for an encore? The 70's thread is over 1500 and still going.
;-)
LOL!
You'd still be drunk as a loon coming out!
Ever do a sauna with alchohol?
Fun, but dangerous!
Especially if you are drinking gin or vodka.
Yep, and I just realized this morning who carolinacrazy was. He's still a sniffer, but now I need to be nice to Teeny.
But you take control today, please. I will be in and out of the office.
Send me something fun to post!!
;-)
