There are three things that you can watch forever: how a fire burns, how water flows, and how cold beer is poured into a crystal clear glass.

Just imagine it, in a beer-less world there would be no graphic fights at football matches, or the movie The Hangover, along with the entire country of Ireland! (just kidding).
