I received this from another list. After reading it, it occurred to me
that a preoccupation with drinking I encounter by some of the students I
see is nothing new...this has been useful in helping keep my perspective.
As Harry Truman once remarked, "There is nothing new in the world except
for the history we have yet to learn." Interesting thought in light of the
attention being given to "today's" collegiate drinkers.
Enjoy...
Have a Beer
Sometimes when I reflect 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. I think, "It is
better to drink this beer and let their dreams come true, than be selfish
And worry about my liver."

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.

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. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

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.

One night at Cheers, Cliff Clavin explained the "Buffalo Theory" to his
Buddy, Norm. "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.
