That could very well be true.
I think I have read lately that beer consumption is actually going down steadily.
Have you heard that as well?
After visiting Norway a couple of months ago and spending 10 Yankee dollah for a pint...It seems like the whole population should be on strike for reduced beer taxes.
I have not seen that, but my consumption has gone way down.
I now drink once a month.
Scandinavian countries are not known for cheap alcohol.
Southeast Asia and Mexico are cheap beer meccas for tourists.
LOL.
Don't the Welsh drink gin as well?
That coould tide them over.
I am gonna go drink some ale today.
Local pub has good ale.
We just doing our part to keep
the wheels of industry turning...
LOL.
It always seems that whenever folks mention beer here on the internet, Homer Simpson is mentioned in the discussion sooner or later.
If only they made a Duff beer, like him and the guys drink!
Probably any beer you would normally find in the states on tap in a saloon would fit the role of Duff's. Here in Utah, the beer is by law 3.2 percent (or less) alcohol by volume. This is good for relaxing on a hot day or while watching a race, without frying brain cells. Real beer can be purchased, however, in state owned package stores. I'm particularly fond of India pale ale, and several brands of local stout.
What is this "hot weather" people keep talking about?
(58 degrees here in NY on this first day of June)
Why is Utah beer only allowed to be 3.2 percent?
Weak beer, believe it or not, gives a nastier hang-over than strong beer.
Maybe summer is just the perfect time for beer, although it is not summer yet.
i drink year-round.
I believe it, the part that makes you sicker isn't really the alcohol, it's all the other junk. Kinda like how red wine makes you the absolute sickest.
Oh brother, you are right when you mention red wine.
Red wine makes me feel ill.
My hero!!!!!!!!!!
ROFL!!!
as Homer Simpson one time said: "mmmmmmm, beer"
I love my beer!!!!!!
I do too, but I have had to cut back, due to the calories of it.
What is your favorite brands of beer?
