The world's greatest minds defend beer.

From a song I had to play a couple of times a week when I worked in a Country Western dance bar.

There's a tear in my beer
'cause I'm cryin' for you,dear -- Hank Williams Jr.

I think in one verse he says he drinks nine beers .

The "Tomorrow I'll be sober, but you'll still be ugly" quote is part of a conversation attributed to Winston Churchill.

Supposedly a riposte when Lady Astor complained of his drunkenness.

I'm not so think as you drunk I am. It's just the drunker I sit here, the longer I get!

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than a frontal lobotomy.

It sounds better when someone is drunk. Cheers!

Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

If that's true, why do I meet so many dumb college students?
