Booze / Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Man CAN Live on Beer Alone!
Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Tue, Dec 6, 2011 at 12:01 PM
As noted in the Morning News, a man in Alaska survived in a snowdrift for three days on Coors Light. That's nice and all, but has everyone forgotten the local man who lived on GOOD beer, and only good beer, for an entire month?
From his journal:
There’s little doubt that the experiment has been a success. I have experienced spans of lucidity and lost close to fifteen pounds. The kids and the bartenders at times seemed wary, but I tried always to maintain my perspective and not presume on anyone’s indulgence. Still, this is not something one not as seasoned as myself should probably attempt. Thank God for the astonishing range of styles [of beer] we have available in this area and in this country—in the world for that matter. This experiment would not have been so interesting thirty years ago. It boggles the mind how beneficial adding a little food to the quotient might be. Are the policymakers listening?
