- vacax, on 03/27/2008, -0/+22You had me at "drink beer"
- simplechris, on 03/27/2008, -1/+18since when have you needed a /reason/ to drink beer?
- peterjmag, on 03/27/2008, -1/+10#1: It's so tasty. That's the only reason I need.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -1/+10Right now i'm drinking.
- Celeron, on 03/27/2008, -2/+9I'm already off to a good start. Drinking at 2:30 in the morning. The fine life of a digger.
- stretch611, on 03/27/2008, -1/+7Drinking is normal at 2:30 in the morning, but it shouldn't be a good start. End of night, or middle of the party yes, but not a start.
- stretch611, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6I never needed a reason, but you can use the reasons as ammunition against those who say you should not drink.
- curtosrules, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6what kind of beer are you drinking? I have never had any beverage that smells like ass
- groone, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6If beer could be a president, it would be Beerbraham Lincoln.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -1/+7"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Ben Franklin. I don't believe in "god" but I sure as "hell" believe in Ben Franklin.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -1/+6Man i got 2 more years to go before i can buy, it's too long i hope i can make it.
- mal1964, on 03/27/2008, -2/+7Cool I can only think of 7 bad ones. So since their are more good reasons Cheers!

http://www.forbes.com/2008/03/14/beer-drink-health ... - mal1964, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5I agree unless you're an alcoholic, Because 1 is to many and a 1000 is never enough.
- Haroshia, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5You know all the research I've seen says those issues are only if you drink in excess. I've talked to several doctors (I work in a hospital), and they agree that having one or two beers a day is actually a pretty healthy choice.
- etx313, on 03/27/2008, -1/+5It's 2008 kid. Print up a fake ID like 90% of the other guys on here did.
- BobEwell, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4Best reason to drink = Makes ugly girls hot
- elpohl, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3The question now is, which one beer family is the best: red, white, blonde, light, dark? So many options!
- itsameericle, on 03/27/2008, -1/+4I've got about 8 months, 4 days, and however many hours until the store opens...but who's counting?
- stretch611, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Do yourself a favor and try them all...
- BobEwell, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3*waits to get dugg down*
ok - simplechris, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2haha, i love it when people say that.
you drink to relax, to get drunk etc. it's a means to an end.
I like the taste of coffee, but you dont see me drinking 13 pints of it in the evening... Us beer drinkers should unite! stop having to justify our decision to engage in the fantstic male tradition of breaking open a beer or ten after a hard day of work!
BEER FTW! - mal1964, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2I'm Kidding! Chill
- AliasHandler, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Never heard that one before. Ben Franklin is the man.
- curtosrules, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2awwww boo hooo....did you not read what it said only 1 or 2 drinks a day will help. I hate when people don't even go to the article and make stupid ass comments
- mal1964, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3Then what?
- zzzpoohzzz, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3congrats... no one cares how much you can drink
- BobEwell, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Buzzkill.
- bowe, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2If you drink beer every single day you can be classified as an alcoholic. People who need to have a drink every day after work suffer from a form of alcoholism.
- mal1964, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2If not often its not a major red flag saying someones a alcoholic. This is a major red flag of being a alcoholic. When you say I'm just going to have 2 beers and go home, and nine times out of ten you always have way more and end up drunk.
- curtosrules, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2exactly!!!! well said
- simplechris, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2omg. i'm so impressed. your the man.
/sarcasm. - TheUngod, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2They're basically the same reasons it's good to drink red wine, minus half the benefits.
- simplechris, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2surely thats the worst!? waking up and looking over to see that the beer goggles pwnd you again. *sigh*
:] - bagboyrebel, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Try telling that to an officer.
- bagboyrebel, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2But the problem is that many people drink beer to get drunk, which is way more than what this article is talking about.
- simplechris, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1sure.
- gbro, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1I'll rephrase by saying that beer that I have experienced has smelt bad to me. If I smell beer now it too much resembles earlier beer to not be able to divorce the general beer smell with previous "bad" batches/brands.
- itsameericle, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2If I'm this eager, wouldn't you realize that I already drink and have people buy for me?
- snohman, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1no kidding...
- dbalaski, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1natty bo -- god I haven't had that in 20+ years
-- i re-examined lots of things I eat/drank in college that I won't anymore.
cheap beer, dinty moore beef stew, ramen noodle soup ......
Local Microbrewery ? Baltimore Brewing Company is my favorite down in MD -- give that one a shot :) - AliasHandler, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2There's a huge difference between someone who drinks 1 beer a day and an alcoholic. An alcoholic would not be able to limit themselves with one beer a day, they would want more and more. A beer is a tasty beverage and there's no reason not to partake one a day if one is legally able to.
And BTW 1 beer is not likely to put someone over the legal limit for driving, especially if it's consumed slowly over 30 minutes to an hour. - noumuon, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2one beer doesn't constitute drunk driving.
- noumuon, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1i'm not sure you know what a micro-brew is...
- InfeImmo, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2Try more micro-brews?
- curtosrules, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1oh ok!!
- simplechris, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2Hang in there. We've all been there, its a bitch. Get a mate to buy it, or just dont shave for a few days. it's amazing what walking into a store with confidence does. I look fairly young for my age, but i could still buy alcohol at 15 (legal age is 18 here) just by walking in, and looking as if your just getting some beers to chill out with. just buy a six pack -
The most obvious "I'M UNDERAGE" thing you could do is go in and ask for 4 bottles of spirits.
just go for it. time soon passes so you shouldnt have to wait. - zzzpoohzzz, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1natty light served me just fine in my college years...
now i'm a fan of my local microbrewery though -
