| Bad Luck Police in Miami Beach say a homeless man broke into a car, stole a credit card and then tried to use it to buy a beer - from the bartender the card belonged to. The case was cracked when 53-year-old David Weber handed the card to a bartender who took his order. The bartender noticed he had just been handed his own credit card andcalled Miami Beach police. Weber was charged with theft. -------- Atomic Beer Just declassified documents state that in 1956, the Atomic Energy Commission exploded two bombs, one "with an energy release equivalent to 20 kilotons of TNT," the other 30 kilotons, at a test site in Nevada. Bottles and cans of beer were carefully placed various distances from ground zero. The cans and some bottles survived. As for radiation, they checked, and found that bottles closest to ground zero were indeed radioactive, but only mildly so. Exposure, according to the report, "did not carry over to the contents." The sodas and beer were "well within the permissible limits for emergency use." Immediate taste tests [poor guy who got that job] indicated that the beverages, both beer and soft drinks, were still of commercial quality. The morale of the story- keep a six pack handy for any, including nuclear, emergencies. |
| You don't say..... In 1962, Iron City beer was the brand used to test-market the concept of tab opening aluminum cans. By 1970, over 90% of all beer cans were self-opening ----------------------------- Most saloons were owned by the breweries by the 1900s. The bartenders earned $10 to $15 per week, with Sunday bringing in the most business. ------------------------------------ In a survey conducted in over 80 countries, 2,000 people were questioned on which countries have the world’s worst beer. The results listed the USA as #1, followed behind by China, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, and Italy. -------------------------------- In Cambodia, a popular beer is a Tarantula Brandy, containing rice liquor and “flavored” with dead tarantulas. --------------------------- In the United States Pharmacopeia, alcohol is actually listed as a medicine.. No wonder since all of the 13 minerals necessary for human life can be found in alcoholic beverages ---------------------- Hangover cures around the world - Ancient Greeks ate cabbages, many Chinese drink spinach tea, some Germans eat a breakfast of red meat and bananas, some in Puerto Rico rub half a lemon under their drinking arm, and in Russia many eat pickles or to drink the pickle brine ----------------------- The first non-alcoholic beer came from ancient Egypt. A priestess would create a strong ale, then heat it over a fire. The alcohol would burn off and remaining beer, now non-alcoholic, was sold to the public. |

Bruce Carlton "Beer will always have a definite role in the diet of an individual and can be considered a cog in the wheel of nutritional foods." |
