Beer

Don't the picture look so omg-ly yummy?! Perfect for the cold or the warm weather (*in my case*). I just don't like the smell after drinking beer. Smells very much like an old man (*oh well, because old man loves drinking beer*)

Everyone knows I love to drink. And I especially love beer. I love it chilled or room temperature but most people drink beer chilled. Drinking beer at room temperature can be something different because you can really taste the flavour/taste.

The above picture of two glasses of beer are from Vietnam called Bia hơi. I heard it's good. Never tried it before

I love my Carlsberg! =D I prefer it more than Tiger Beer. Tiger's too stinky for my liking already! I love Carlsberg because it's much sweeter. And oh well..... =D
I would love to hold a bottle of it anytime anyday. Just so you thought I will get drunk doing that, I always thought drinking beer wouldn't get you drunk. Afterall, it's like less than 10%! The recording holding beer is only 10.3% alcohol!

Some people drink for the sake of drinking (*I have heard that*) but I bet no one can turn down beer. The taste is omg-ly awesome! I am craving for it! But I try not to drink often. Why? BEER BELLY. I have read some stuffs online about beer belly. And there's always two sides to things. One part of it says it does cause beer belly, and another says it doesn't. Oh well.

Like from Beer facts and fiction,


Myth: A "beer belly" is caused by drinking beer.
Fact: A "beer belly" is caused by eating too much food. No beer or other alcohol beverage is necessary.

I would love to read this man! Because I don't eat when I drink. Most of the time. =D But. . . until I read this.


Myth: Drinking alcohol causes weight gain.
Fact: This is a very commonly believed myth, even among medical professionals, because alcohol has caloric value. However, extensive research around the world has found alcohol consumption be does not cause weight gain in men and is often associated with a small weight loss in women.

There can never be sex equality huh? Oh by the way, my first sip of beer was when I was like in primary school, or was it in kindergarten? When was yours?

Okay, on to more facts from 8 amazing beer facts,

1. The first recipe for beer dates back to ancient Egypt. In fact, an ancient Egyptian prayer known as “The Hymn to Ninkasi” serves as a way of remembering the recipe. (*I heard the first recipe in the world was for beer!*)

2. Over 35 billion gallons of beer are sold each year. Compare that to around 46 billion gallons of bottled water being produced each year and you realize that we drink nearly as much beer as bottled water. (*I wouldn't even mind drinking beer the rest of my life!*)

3. Drinking beer is not the sole cause of a beer belly. Being a lazy loser and doing nothing all day are causes of a beer belly. The term beer belly comes from the notion that beer makes us fat. (*I so hope this is true*)

4. A labeorphile is a person who collects beer bottles.

5. A meadophile is a person who studies beer bottles.

6. In the late 1800s, brewing interests began to dominate the British parliament. This dominance is sometimes referred to as Beerocracy. The Beerocracy gained its money and power from the ownership of breweries.

7. Beer companies spend close to $1 billion a year on US advertising.

8. The first beer cans were produced in December 1935.

But the fact that I loved most is from here. Ancient Beer Recipe. It's very lengthy, so I won't be copying-pasting here. I would highlight some points. =D

When archaeologists discovered a four-thousand-year old Mesopotamian clay tablet, they were naturally curious to learn what it was all about. So a good deal of scholarly effort was put into the task of deciphering its cryptic markings.

As it turns out, the ancient Mesopotamians were recording a recipe for beer. And not just any recipe, but a formula handed down from the god Enki himself.
..
The Babylonians made sixteen kinds of beer, using everything from white and black barley to wheat and honey. Beer was extolled in the Egyptian Book of the Dead, where the varieties listed include "beer of truth" and "beer of eternity."
..

I love Egypt history and I love beer. =D My favourite picture of the day!
