I am about to test a bit of ancient wisdom. Wish me luck:
Bier auf Wein, das laß sien.
Wein auf Bier...Das rat' ich dir.

Prosit.

7. Two aspirin, two vitamins, and lots of water before you go to bed.
That's the one thing I remember from two years in pharmacy school.

8. Bier auf wein, das darf nicht sein
Wein auf Bier, das rat ich dir.

That is the Austrian version.

9. In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus... eins, zwei, g’suffa!
:toast:

In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus... eins, zwei, g’suffa!

Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa . . .
Da hat so manche braver Mann:
Eins, zwei, g'suffa . . .
Gezeigt was er so vertragen kann
Schon früh am Morgen fing er an
Und spät am Abend kam er heraus
So schön ist's im Hofbräuhaus.

1. Da, wo die grüne Isar fließt,
Wo man mit "Grüß Gott" dich grüßt,
Liegt meine schöne Münch'ner Stadt,
Die ihresgleichen nicht hat.
Wasser ist billig, rein und gut,
Nur verdünnt es unser Blut,
Schöner sind Tropfen gold'nen Wein's,
Aber am schönsten ist eins:
In München steht ein . . . . .

2. Da trinkt man Bier nicht aus dem Glas,
Da gibt's nur "die große Maß!"
Und wenn der erste Maßkrug leer,
Bringt dir die Reserl bald mehr.
Oft kriegt zu Haus die Frau 'nen Schreck,
Bleibt der Mann mal länger weg.
Aber die braven Nachbarsleut',
Die wissen besser Bescheid!
In München steht ein . . . . .

3. Wenn auch so manche schöne Stadt
Sehenswürdigkeiten hat,
Eins gibt es nirgendwo wie hier:
Das ist das Münchener Bier.
Wer dieses kleine Lied erdacht
Hat so manche lange Nacht
Über dem Münchener Bier studiert
Und hat es gründlich probiert.
In München steht ein . . . . .

:toast:

10. Is that the German version of
Beer before liquor, never been sicker.
Liquor before beer, you're in the clear.

My German's pretty rusty.
