What would a world without beer be like?

Asked by Blondesjon (33994points) February 17th, 2009 from iPhone

This does not mean all alcohol. Liquor, wine, whatever the hell “coolers” are classified as, all still exist.

Beer, though, has disappeared…

It would have fewer urinals.

@kevbo Me too.

The world would be sad. And so would I.

He could drink Zima. Would that keep his head intact?

A world without beer would be fine with me.

Would the offering of malt liquor and burritos be enough to prevent a groin injury?

Allie's avatar

The burritos would make him happy, but the lack of beer might overwhelm him. What if he died!? Oh no. =’{ (We must never let the world become beer-less.)

Liquor allowed, you say? I could make that transition.

marinelife's avatar

I’m OK with it. I would like one exception: Mexican beach, hot day, dos cervezas, por favor.

tennesseejac's avatar

no keg stands? no funnels? no beer pong? = NO FUN

Allie's avatar

@Marina That’s cheating. The world has no beer. Mexico and its cervezas included.

@Blondesjon We would have more money in our pockets. ;)

I would die

Or my liver might start functioning properly… But I drink PBR.. Is that really considered beer?

Hey, at least it’s not Black Label!!

mystuff's avatar

There would be a lot less peeing.

Who… who wants that sort of a world? It’s no world that I want to live in that doesn’t have Old Speckled Hen or Dark Star IPA in it! Granted, I have them by the half pint because I am a lady, but still!

Maybe my mother wouldn’t have been an alcoholic, but then I guess she would have found something else to drink.

Blondesjon's avatar

@aprilsimnel…If you like Speckled Hen you should try a Spotted Cow from New Glarus Brewery. If you’re not scared of the dark Young’s Double Chocolate Stout is superlative.

Now, with that said, PBR is an awesome session beer (I prefer the Stag myself).
In fact I hereby declare the only undeinkable beer:

Olympia

the only beer I have ever started be never finished.

marinelife's avatar

@Allie I know. (hangs head)

@JP I knew you would contend your PBR was a beverage unto itself. Way to go! Who says manna from heaven was food, anyway? Maybe it was PBR.

AstroChuck's avatar

Olympia isn’t that bad. On the other hand, Coors…

aprilsimnel's avatar

In a world without beer I wouldn’t have grown up with this.

Coors is loads better than the so-called Milwaukee’s Best!

Beer: the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.
Or was that alcohol?

Blondesjon's avatar

@peyton_farquhar…Homer used the word beer when he said it.

onesecondregrets's avatar

It would be far less entertaining. And manly, of course.

jonsblond's avatar

I’ll take a Milwaukee’s Best over a lite beer any day.

My favorite of all time is from New Zealand, called Steinlager.

It would be a sad, sad little world :(
