Else You Are Mad

To Sanders supports, today we make an important decision:

We are faced with a momentous decision: it is St. Patricks day and should we stick with the more popular Irish beer Guinness? Or, should we choose the less popular, yet objectively better, Irish beer Smithwick's?

I go with Smithwick's. And Bernie!

I just figured we needed something light hearted after Tuesday

On the bright side, here's the reality to keep in mind.

I think either one will be good enough for me. Besides, I'll only have a few sips at most.

Alcohol gives me a bad headache much faster than it gives me any happy feelings.

So, if I want to be a drinker, I'll have to be a masochist, too.

I feel your pain. I was just cleared yesterday by the Dr. to drink beer... it was perfect timing.

I wasn't aware of that but this is a 2 party beer system. We don't have any room for a 3rd party beer.

Is open to all discussion regardless of opinion. It is the greatest of unifiers so we are open to discuss all types of beers -- even after March 17, 2016.

Beer never touched his lips--but he was a teamster for the Rainier Brewing Co delivering truckloads of brew to taverns in eastern Idaho.
