Wasting Beer
I love beer and I make no bones about it. As old Ben Franklin put it, "Beer is proof that God loves us." That's why I don't understand people who would waste beer.
Let me tell a story that illustrates where I'm coming from.
When I went to college one of the first side-jobs I took was working at a package store (that's what we call liquor stores in New England). My job was to stock cases and handle kegs - incoming and outgoing. On my first day someone brought back a keg and I tried to refuse it - because it wasn't empty! How could you return a keg if it still had beer in it? In my mind that was just wrong on so many levels. That was the day I learned that not everyone shared my beliefs about wasting beer.
One of the biggest ways beer gets wasted is when you are at a bar or a party and you put your beer down - you go to pick your beer back up but suddenly there's more than one. Which one is yours? You don't want to grab someone else's beer - so you just go get another while your old beer sits there wasted. That doesn't happen to me because when I open a can of beer (or a can of anything else for that matter) I automatically turn the tab to the left. More than one can sitting on the table? Mine's the one with the tab turned to the side. [If it's a bottle then it's always in front of me or in my hand.]
Anyway - I love beer.

Beer Sales
I admit that this was a question I was wondering about:
I admit that this was a question I was wondering about:
With 5-1/2 innings of World Series Game 5 already in the books, a question arises of great concern to many Phillies fans going to Citizens Bank Park tonight:HT Baseball Musings
Will beer sales be cut off after the seventh inning?
No, says David Freireich, spokesman for Aramark, which operates all the park's concessions.
"Today is considered a new event," he said.
So the brew won't stop flowing at the 7th.
Sources at the ballpark – including some beer vendors – said beer sales would be stopped at the start of the ninth inning.
