Frank and Ernest by Thaves for September 14, 2024

Yes it is caffeine free but it loaded with calories. Which do you want or not want?

But just like coffee, you can never buy it, only rent it for a short time.

Ⅰ get a ꙳ʜɪᴄ꙳ out of these two

Beer: it is not just for breakfast anymore!

Never really liked beer. Had a few token glasses from time to time in early decades, just to be sociable. Just never found the same enjoyment others did. Couple fingers of Jim Beam or Chivas Regal eventually became my go-to on occasion. Been a long time since the last shot of either. S-i-i-i-g-h

Somehow I wouldn’t be surprised if caffeinated beer became a thing.

He’s hoppy to keep on trying them.

I love beer, can’t stand alcohol though, too bad

I like beer

It makes me a jolly good fellow

I like beer

It helps me unwind

And sometimes it makes me feel mellow

(Makes him feel mellow)

Whiskey’s too rough

Champagne costs too much

Vodka puts my mouth in gear

This little refrain

Should help me explain

As a matter of fact I like beer (he likes beer)

Tom T Hall

personally, I never liked the taste

Kampai!

Monty Python said American beer is like making love in a canoe. It’s ducking close to water.

But does it taste great or is it less filling?

That beer looks good on you two…!

There are a number of beers brewed with coffee (beans?), which I suspect contain caffeine.

Beer is good Food!

That’s why I don’t drink it.

Love it! Thanks for a good laugh.

Drank beer my whole life. Off it now though.

 A History of the World in 6 Glasses, a 2006 book by Tom Standage, tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the 21st Century through each epoch’s signature refreshment: beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola.

Beer is first because our hunter-gatherer ancestors about 10,000 years ago discovered that fermented grain holds its nutritive value thruout the winter months, whereas the just plain grain tends to rot or get eaten by rodents (thus leading to our adoption of cats, but that’s another story). But sticking around in one place long enuf to grow grain meant that they had to develop agriculture and more or less permanent communities, so it’s not a big stretch to say that love of beer led to civilization as we know it today.

another reason I don’t drink it (you know, in addition to the smell, the taste, and …)

“In heaven there is no beer…”

(Someone had to say it)
