(from the pre-written pile as I’m busy with coursework)
I noticed something in the pub today. Look at anything foodwise in the supermarket and you’ll see a big ingredient list. Nutrition information. Allergy warnings. You name it.
But beer… buy a bottle of beer and look at the label. Nowt. It tells you how much is in the bottle and the alcohol content, but none of the ingredients. I mentioned this and Allen gave me a spot on answer:
"”Ingredients – beer. They don’t need to tell you anything else. It’s good for you."
This is a superb answer. Beer is good for you. OK, so Guinness had an advertising campaign that said as much canned in the 60’s because of conflicting evidence, but that was just namby-pamby boring gits that forced that to happen.
Beer is your friend. Drink more beer. If you get a hangover, you’re not drunk enough.
In America you get the nutrition contents – calories and such – but no alcohol content.
Each of the organisations that happen to use ‘AA’ as their identifier might disagree with the ‘Beer is good for you’ sentiment… 😉
but isn’t that the stuff that was making you into a porkasaur before you did all that “exercise” (spits) malarkey???
Anni – that’s cos it’s American beer and therefore so piss-weak there’s no point in telling you the alcohol content.
dcsun4 – beer is good, beer is my friend, beer is my soft cushion of love in a world of horribleness…
JJ – nope, that was shitty food like KFC and an exercise regime that consisted solely of chewing and walking slowly to the toilet to **** it all out again.
You have a pre-written file? I wish I was so organised – I have textfile of cryptic two word ideas (at the moment it consists of two words), and a second one labelled *****.
Ss – I also have a lot of spare time at work, hence the articles written up in Notepad. Well, I usually have spare time. This week’s been slightly busier, hence getting a chance to use some of the other stuff. I’ve actually binned a load as it’s woefully out of date.
