Mmmm Beer
Humans consume 35 billion gallons of beer every year, however I contribute very
little to that number. When it is hot, I do enjoy a glass of Corona with some
ice cubes in it or perhaps a pint of half beer, half 7-up (again with ice) but
generally if I do drink, its vodka and cranberry or simply white wine.
In medieval days women brewed much of the beer, as it fell under the category
of food, they would even sell beer to raise money for weddings, known as
"
bride-ale" which gave us the modern word
"
bridal".
My fiancé finds this amusing and thinks I should hold a fundraiser for our
wedding at his bar, with me serving pitchers or beer to the drunken
well wishers. This of course has a snowball's chance in Hell of happening.
