How Australia sees America

Who was it that said

Beer contains about 95% water and 5% alcohol. The liver converts the alcohol to water, so in affect, if we drink 100 ml of beer, eventually we will get 100 ml of water, so why do we dehydrate. For each 100ml of beer we drink, we urinate approx 160ml.

When we become thirsty, our brain shuts down our urinary system, well almost, to conserve water. Our brain (pituitary gland actually) however, has this affect reversed by alcohol and actually increases the rate of urine production, hence dehydrating the body. This WILL kill you.

Oh and it was the porter. Macbeth: Act 2, Scene 3, Page 2

 

You notice that when the politics, history, nationalism and just plain competitive vitriol are dispensed with Americans and Australians can see eye to eye on booze when they can see at all. :thumbup::sly:

It's true! There is a solution; freedom or so we think.

Ever hear the story about what Jim Morrison did to Janice Joplin backstage which resulted in her hitting him over the head with a bottle of Jack Daniel's?

Jim got hit over the head....was so stoned he hardly felt anything and just laughed at her while blood poured down the side of his head.
