So after a long time of being reluctant to post, I open my promising Blogging career discussing one of the the more pressing economic issues of the current day.
In light of the recent subprime crisis, the chapter 11 bankruptcy of Lehman brothers, and the financial struggles of AIG I ask myself: How are we going to afford beer in our new economy? While mulling over the depressing outlook of a world with out beer, that I came to the realization that we must conserve. Thus I did my due diligence as a researcher and came across a study done by the fine institution Guinness.
Guinness estimated that over 245,000 gallons of beer are LOST each year in Great Britain to the beards and mustaches of the drinkers. That is an astounding 2,613,333 and a third 12 oz beers or $10,453,333.33 (it is only 3,920,000 at happy hour and if you’re cheap and don’t leave a tip) in Britain alone. Knowing that the United States is much larger then Great Britain, our rich history of wasting things and the strange facial hair fads of resent memory who knows how high that number could be!
In conclusion, I ask the loyal readers of brewsci.com to spread the awareness this unjust waste of beer and economic resources.
Living in Berkeley maybe it’s a worthy cause for the now causeless tree sitters? … although that would require most of them to shave so not likely.
Dear Matthew,
How thoughtless of your father and I to be so concerned about the loss of funds in our stock/retirement accounts, rather than the loss of beer. We are so thankful you brought this to our attention. We will try not to be so apathetic about this issue in the future. Love, MOM
Joe, I fixed all the links. They all were: http://http//. Delete the first ‘http://’ before you paste in the link.
Someone should call Dumpster Muffin and let her know of the new national security issue
Yes!! Leave it to Joey to find a way for me to convince my husband that growing a stache is NOT cool. Once again Joe, you’re a genius!
shaving to save beer is stupid. just drink more beer!
