    Beer tastes better after a long day at work?

    I'm sitting here drinking a beer, and just realised how much more I enjoy beer when i've had a long tiring day at work.

    It just seems to glide down the gullet

    /me raises beer cheers ppl

    I don't like beer/lager etc all that much.

    However, I can manage it after a days work - strange isn't it!

    Still, vodka based drinks are better.

    Personally i think it takes a while to get used to beer, just force it down your neck until you like it. I can't get enough of the stuff

    /me hooks up beer to blood supply

    there's too much blood in my alcohol system!

    So who actually drinks beer, or like me do we all drink lager?

    Lager tastes better when it does not cost £3 a pint. Also you cannot beat a cold lager on a hot day. Worst of all is watered down lager. Too many places do this and think that no one notices. What I cannot work out is how they mess around with it when it is delivered in those metal pressurised kegs.

    Some quotes I got in an e-mail sometime, I am dubious about some of the names given credit for the quotes though

    ------------------

    "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 Handy

    "An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools." Ernest Hemingway

    "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

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

    "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

    And saving the best for last ....

    As explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers:
    One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin 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."

    To my mind it's this, you've gone out and worked hard for that money, and now your enjoying it!

    Nothing tastes better then the satisfaction of knowing you earned what you have

    Try what they did in the strongbow advert. Sit on a rubber dingy in the sea for several hours till ur really really thirsty. Then get a nice cool beer. Tastes 10 times better than ever before.

    Lol, all that advert says to me is that you have to be absolutely desperately thirsty to drink Strongbow.

    Actually i've recently discovered that an ice cold stella slides down the best when you've climbed up a mountain then back down.

    Try it ppl!!!! You get fit climbing the mountain then you put it back on with the lager. And it tastes twice as good!

    Trust me the hard work pays off at the end.

    /me raises pint!

    Cheers guys n gals


    You have been warned!!
