I was born to drink beer
I come from a long line of German beer drinkers.

I have not, and no one in my family has experienced a problem with drinking.

If one can handle it, and those who are around one can handle and/or participate, there is not a problem.

It is a problem for those who do not know their limits. If they don't know their alcohol limits, they probably have a problem with knowledge about the rest of their lives.

Beer is a good thing.

People are not necessarily a good thing.

2. The latest stories show
beer, drinking it in responsible literes, has nothing to do with guts.

I think it has to do with something else, but am unsure what.

Munchies?

3. How do you know your limit?
I mean, doesn't it really all depend on how much of what is currently in your stomache, among other things?

I mean, do you just drink slowly? As to let the alchohol fully set in? Is that what knowing your limit is? And if you don't go beyond your limit, could it be possible your limit isn't really your limit, but just what satisfies you?

5. I just drink with dinner
or occasionally in small ways for social reasons.

I just never get close to my limit.

4. I come from solid Irish and German stock
Many of us drink and those who don't should.

Yes, beer is a good thing (generally)

6. Sadly
I've never met a beer I haven't liked. It's a genetic thing. People tell me, I drink 4 beers and I am blotto. I can drink a case of beer at a sitting and function the next day. Did I mention that I've never met a beer I didn't like?

7. You Are My Soulmate
Unfortunately, this means you WILL have a beer gut.

8. Good
Beer is good. Beer Pong is better.

Just (seriously) don't drink and drive.
