Absolutely! When I use the " :beer: " smiley.....my mugs are usually filled with Dt. Pepsi...or more recently...Crystal Light.

Oddly enough....I never did like beer. Guess that's good for me.

Mine would be two mugs of Mountain Dew. Wait... make that Diet Mountain Dew

On a good day I might have two beers, then I have to take a nap, lol. We had a cookout at our daughter's the other day, and I had one beer then switched to sweet tea. However, the beer was really cold, as it had been in our fridge since last summer, lol.

Hi Rich,
I am very happy with the progress of how the site is growing. I am glad it is growing on it own at this rate. The site is just over 4 years old. I think the rapid growth is a testament to the friendly attitude of the site without all the add bologna you see on other sites. :beer:

I've seen the same thing on a dozen or more posts. Just wondered what's up?
thanks Rich

It's always past noon somewhere in the world!

Never saw a time restriction for drinking. :mrgreen:

There is a saying in the brewing community. "Food has no beer value, however beer has food value."
