German Beer 1 - George Walker Bush 0

Watch out for the beer and Barroso's reaction to it...:rotfl:

I thought Bush was a born-again christian and didnt drink alcohol anymore?

At least he never has drunken (drank?) beer before, obviously.

Krombacher has a very tasty and delicious alcohol-free beer, btw. I prefer it to all other beers now, not because of the lacking alcohol, but the fruity taste (don't drink much beer anymore anyway).

Just like so many other things he attempts....he's not even capable of pouring beer into a glass without messing it up

You're never going to get anywhere in life believing an old liar like him. That said, there are stories out there that Bush has fallen off the wagon more than once. I guess the pressure of being laughed at behind his back by the other G8 leaders is taking it's toll.

Ahh, who cares. Its a beer! Not a shot of Vodka! Personally, I don't think beer or wine really messes people up.

I think it's hard alcohol that people mess up their lives with. Everyone that I have seen that drinks beer or wine, even daily, and stays away from the hard stuff never seems to have any issues or life problems from it. I'm sure there are people out there who can't even handle of beer or glass of wine, but they are the raririty. But I have seen countless times where people become addicted to the hard stuff - I mean truely addicted. It destroys their life along with it.

I'd even go so far as to say the hard stuff really harms the body and causes things like cancer or other ailments. Through the years, I've seen people drunk constantly on the hard stuff and after being drunk for long enough, the body just shuts down and they die from it. I seen that more than once.

And to top it off, it just tastes disgusting! Drink a shot of rum, whiskey, vodka, whatever, and it all tastes pretty bad! If you are out to get drunk fast though, there is no faster way. This is probably why people drink it and get addicted to it - their quest to get drunk faster than anything else outweighs the need or want to enjoy what it is they are drinking. To me there is no other reason to drink hard liquor other than to get drunk quickly.

Personally, I think I'll stick to beer and wine thank you very much! And make that red wine. I don't like whites.

Can't say I agree. There are a few people around here who seem to spend all day, every day, wandering around the city drunk. Almost without exception they drink beer or cider. I might once have seen one of them with a bottle of whiskey but it's usually several cans of Special Brew (which is 9%, but still weaker than most wines).

Getting back on topic, so Bush spilled some beer when he poured it...what's the big deal? I've done it, I've probably seen every single one of my friends do it, it's just that we've never done it on film.

That is why I said there is a few people that can't handle a glass of beer or wine in the paragraph that you referenced. I bet these bums also started on something harder and just can't afford the hard stuff anymore either.

Everclear! 110% pure grain alcohol with koolade mix. When you are young and pay just didn't quite stretch.

Yes. We call them sub simmers.
