I want my beer dammit! But personally, I prefer vodka.

I got a friend who's practically an alcoholic. But I doubt even he'd do something like this!

Most importantly, was the beer critically injured? THAT would be a true catastrophe....

Just when I think people can't get even more idiotic than they are. Common sense is even rarer than previously thought.

No, it's GREAT! He's doing his part to remove himself from the gene pool.
