It seems so, so friendly, like an old buddy that people all share. "Have you met my friend Beer?" "Met him! Why we spent the afternoon together just yesterday!" "Oh, that Beer. He sure knows how to throw a party." "We went to the game together just last week, and HE drove home!"

I like the taste, but the histamine gets to me (wine, interestingly, doesn't) and there's just so darned MUCH of it.

So many foods go so well with an ice cold beer. Sports as well. AND at the end of one of those REALLY rough days, prop those feet up and suck down a cold beer. OH YEAH!

Gee MFM, I actually agree with you. Maybe it's the heat...
