The Facts About
Beer Drinkers
"Sometimes when I reflect back on
all the beer I  drink I feel ashamed.
Then,  I look into the glass and
think about the workers in the
brewery and all of their hopes and
dreams. If I didn't drink this  beer,
they might be out of work and
their dreams would be shattered.
Then I say to myself, "It is better
that I drink this beer and let their
dreams come true than be selfish
and worry about my liver."
- Jack Handy

"I feel sorry for people who don't
drink. When they wake up in the
morning, that's as good as they're
going to feel all day. "
- Frank Sinatra

"When I read about the evils of
drinking, I gave up  reading."
- Henny Youngman

"24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a
case.
Coincidence? I think not."
- Stephen Wright

"When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit
no sin. When we commit no sin,
we go to heaven.
Sooooo, let's all get drunk and go
to heaven!"
- Brian O'Rourke

"Beer is proof that God loves us
and wants us to be happy."
- Benjamin Franklin

"Without question, the greatest
invention in the history of
mankind is
beer. Oh, I grant you that the
wheel was also a fine invention,
but the wheel does not go nearly as
well with pizza."
- Dave Barry

Remember "I"! before "E", except
in Budweiser.

To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a
Support Group. Salvation in a can!

And saving the best for last, as
explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers.
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff was
explaining the  Buffalo Theory to
his buddy Norm. Here's how it
went:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this...
A herd of buffalo can only move as
fast as the slowest buffalo. And
when the herd is hunted, it is the
slowest
and weakest ones at the back that
are killed first. This natural
selection
is good for the herd as a whole,
because the general speed and
health of the whole group keeps
improving by the regular killing of
the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human
brain can only operate as fast as the
slowest brain cells. Excessive
intake of alcohol, as we know, kills
brain cells. But naturally, it attacks
the slowest and weakest brain cells
first. In this way, regular
consumption of beer eliminates
the weaker brain cells, making the
brain a faster and more efficient
machine. ! That's why you always
feel smarter after a few beers."
