lemon water, light beer, what’s the difference?

i remember drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon when a local bar imported some during a beer strike (thank goodness we haven’t had one of those in a decade or three). i may as well have been drinking water for all the effect it had on me. nowadays, my tastes have matured some. i tend to prefer darker ales and even some stouts.

Pass the bar stool, let’s catch up, when was the last time we went shopping for new slacks?

“Big Brother”?

lemon water, light beer, what’s the difference?

Lemon water is heavier, and tastes better.

Lemon Water?!?!? How’s he supposed to burp if there’s no carbonation!!

That’s uncivilized…even the animals know how to let a good one go and move the conversation forward!

I like an easy chair….. a real lazy boy….

Lemon curry?

This is the first time I’ve seen Bob actually take a sip of his drink. It usually just sits on the bar in front of him.

From someone who drinks something that would have an little umbrella in it he has a heck of a lot of nerve to complain about lemon water (which is considerably better than light beer!) BTW swallow enough air while you’re sipping that water and you can belch with the big boys!

So Joe has a brother?

So the weight is what’s ailing Joe? Or is it the aleing that’s weighting Joe?

Until micro brews, all American beer was lite beer. Canukistan still makes better wiskey…..

Light beer? What’s that?

He’s trying to lose weight so he can fit into his pants & go out with Victoria.

I handed a glass of a popular local beer to a friend of a friend, a veterinarian. I said, “What do you think?” and he said “I’m sorry, but I think your horse has diabetes.”

yyyguy - you need to stop drinking American “Light” beer (which is just water) and try CANADIAN light Beer (Blue Light or Molson Light for example).

American’s who drink it think it’s as strong as their ‘regular’ beer.

Joe’s trying to lose weight has nothing to do with his trying to get into his pants.

So now all of yesterday’s questions about the identity of Joe’s brother are answered. Wiley, you are quite the prognosticator to be able to anticipate like this.

I used to drink only a certain light beer from Colorado until I went to England for a few months. Boy did that experience spoil me for American beers!

Any kind of beer is nasty! And that does take come nerve coming from a guy with an umbrella in his drink.

I’ve known that Bob was Joe’s big brother for a couple years.

where have y’all been?

Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout RULES!!!! Best brew available today.

Joe, lose your weight so your health condition will improve better at least.

A friend of mine once asked me “Why are American light beers like having sex in a canoe?” I said I didn’t know and she replied “They’re both effin’ close to water.” (Although she chose not to use the censor friendly version)

@MisnngNOLA==I have had a ten minute version of that joke since in the 1970’s. Much more detailed, involving a national contest for best slogan for a Colorado based light beer company.

Hey, MisngNOLA, my uncle used to tell that same joke about Kingsbury. A local here in East Wis.

A well brewed beer is cereal in a mug.

SAM ADAMS ain’t bad either!

The punch certainly seems to validate the correct answers to some of Victoria’s quiz questions.
