REASONS NOT TO DRINK BEER...

There are 4 seasons to the year...........................

Whiskey..... in front of a fireplace w/ a good book

Gin & Tonic........ on the deck on the first warm days of .....................

Beer....... from first grass cutting to last.............

more Beer.......... around a campfire with hunting buddies.
 
My thoughts on beer:

.I'll start with the Benjamin Franklin quote.
.I've herd it said that beer is an acquired taste. Horse feathers. I was probably about 10 or 11 years old when I sneaked my first sip of beer from my dads glass when he was engrossed in his domino game. The instant it hit my tongue I knew that this would be a thing I'd love all my life. Some times you just know....
.One's too many and 12 ain't enough
.To quote Edmond O'Brien from the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", in the scene where the bar was closed down to an election and he was just trying to get a beer. "Beer isn't drinking"

.I don't completely stop drinking beer in cold weather but I don't drink as much of it. In the summer I drink beer and mixed drinks with Vodka, gin and tequilla. In the winter I drink less beer and Burbon, sour mash and Canadian blends like Jim beam etc. (but I may slip a little tequilla now and the as well.)
. I do still long for the days when I could have a frosty cold one and a good cigar. Snubbyfan is my hero. But the beer does and adequate solo I recon.
. When stationed on Okinawa in the early 60s we could get all the Japanese beer we wanted; Ahahi, Nippon, Sapporo, etc. Shlitz was mostly the only American beer we could get And that was bad enough. One time for some reason we never learned we could only get a disgusting Filipino brew that my mind has blocked the name of, it was so gross. It was so bad that we had to cut it with tomato juice. In later years I up graded my beer and my additive. Today when I want a red beer I add Zing Zang. Goes down good on a hot day after a couple hours of yard work,

Favorite beers:
.Domestic-Shiner Black, Genuine Miller Draft. (No lite beer please)
.Imports-Negro Modelo (Mexico), Fosters Lager (Austrila), Blue Moon (Belgium)
 
I take it you've never tried scotch.

I must agree. I got very Drunk on cheap scotch years ago and still even after over half a century I still can't ever stand the smell of it any more.

I hear how good an aged single malt can be and would love to enjoy it. I even give it a try every few years but so far no luck with that.
 
Off and On again

I got my first taste of beer, at around age 6, and liked it. Enjoyed it for years, until I was married, and running the night shift of a one man, all night, hamburger shop. It was the last stop, going home, of all the town drunks, after the town beer joints closed and turned them out onto the street. Well, there isn't anything as disgusting as town drunks gathered in a small shop, after the beer joints close, and I had a full house of 'em. As a result of that, I decided to quit drinking beer, and it was 60 years later that I decided to have a beer with my Son, in a micro brewery in Florida, and It didn't taste good at all, and could have been the brand of beer. I tried a local beer, in Ohio, with my Son, a few years later, and in your wildest dreams you can't believe how great that one tasted, and I've enjoyed it since. In fact I'm having one while I write this post. I don't suggest that anyone try to enhance the flavor of their favorite brew, in this manner, but, it sure worked for me.

Reasons to not drink beer???? I can only think of one, really poor planning.

With that said a I have a Rib Roast out on the pellet grill, it is a nice sunny upper 30s day, I have beer and a cigar from some island south of Miami. Beer goes bad; so, I better drinking the beer and burn the contraband while the suns out.
 
It was probably easier to get that cigar than the beer out your way !:cool:

Reasons Not To Drink Beer (and these ought to be printed on the back label of every beer).

DANGER:

Drinking beer makes you fat, stupid, and lazy.

Drinking beer makes you boring and obnoxious, but at the same time makes you think you are witty and attractive to women.

Drinking beer makes you think you are a good dancer.

:) :eek: :D ;)

I'm not fat. I never said I'm a good dancer.

My wit never came from a bottle.

Chicks dig me. I'm with the band.

Stupid and lazy?

A cute tongue-in-cheek thread from PALADIN85020.

Only reason I have not to imbibe is that I'm away from home and concealed carrying a firearm. Since I received my CC permit, it's the only reason I'll leave home unarmed, other than travel to banned states.

A-men! I don't have a lot of personal rules for myself. But my #1 rule is that I don't EVER touch alcohol when I'm "dressed". It kind of surprised me to discover that I still have just as much fun.
