why would anyone drink beer?

Josh Hamilton is better than you.

by Longhorn on Jul 27, 2008 5:38 PM CDT reply actions

There's some beer out there that actually is good.

Hard to find sometimes, though. I drink beer very, very rarely.

by philkid3 on Jul 27, 2008 5:39 PM CDT up reply actions

so how are you supposed to do it then?

chug? slurp? eviscerate?

by Telegraph on Jul 27, 2008 5:40 PM CDT up reply actions

I plan on learning how to eviscerate beer.

That sounds awesome.

I rarely agree with Longhorn, but. . .

I’ve been drunk enough times in my life that I’m willing to call it dumb, and unlikely something I’ll be too many times more in my life.

Miller Chill is horrible.

Just responding to the question in the last thread.

It’s probably just because I don’t like Miller. Or any watered down cheap US beer, really.

Lime is one of my favorite flavors on God’s green earth, though.
