3. Geez... doesn't anyone here like beer?
I prefer to drink it when the weather is warm. Nothing like a good baseball game and a cold brew!

4. Are you kidding? Drinking beer is a passion of mine.
In fact, I'd do it professionally if it weren't for my bum knee.

6. Ok, help me out here.
What does a bum knee have to do with drinking beer? Too much falling down? :P

7. I'm trying to make the list of all-time beer quotes.
Making up new beer quotes is a passion of mine, in fact if it weren't for my bum knee...

5. Tom T. Hall agrees!
In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

(chorus)
I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer
(he likes beer)

My wife often frowns when were out on the town
And Im wearing a suit and a tie
Shes sipping vermouth and she thinks Im uncouth
When I yell as the waiter goes by

(chorus)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Aw, the water was clear and tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (awww)

I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskeys too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear
Aw, this little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I love beer
(yes, he likes beer)

:beer:

10. Glorius! Glorius! One keg of beer for the four of us!
And Glory be to God
That there are more more of us
For one of us could drink it all alone!
Damn beer!

My eyes are dim.
They can not see.
I have - HEY
Not - HO
Brought my specs with me.

Old army drinking song

12. Good Beer Recs.
What's your favorite beer(s) and where do they come from?
I'll start.
Dale's Pale Ale from Colorado, Duvel, Corsendank, and nearly any other trappist ale.

13. Oh... what is the malt and liquor?
hat gets you drunken
quicker?
What comes in bottles or in cans? (Beer)
Can't get enough of it (Beer)
How we really love it
(Beer)
Makes me think I'm a man (Beer)
I could
kiss and hug it (Beer)
But I'd rather chug it
(Beer)
Got my belly up to here (Beer)
I could not
refuse a (Beer)
I could really use a beer, beer, beer

Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer

I can't remember how much I have had
I drank a
twelve-pack with my dad (BURP!)
That's my son the
drunken manly stud
I'm proud to be his bud
Here
have some pretzels
No, I'll call it quits
Those
things give me the shlits (ha ha ha)

Drink with your
family
Drink it with your friends
Drink till
you're fat, stomach distends
Beer is liquid bread,
it's good for you
We like to drink till we spew!
Ew!
Who cares if we get fat?
I'll drink to
that

As we sing once more...

What is the
malt and liquor?
What gets you drunken quicker?
What
comes in bottles or in cans? (Beer)
Can't get enough
of it (Beer)
How we really love it (Beer)
Makes me
think I'm a man (Beer)
I could kiss and hug it
(Beer)
But I'd rather chug it (Beer)
Got my belly
up to here (Beer)
Golly, I adore it! (Beer)
Come on
dammit, pour it!
Do it for me, brew it for me
Feed it
to me, speed it to me (Beer)
The most wonderful drink in
the world
HOORAY!!! (BURP!)
