I didn't realize that the Sierra Nevada Bigfoot beers had an alcohol content of about 10.5%, meaning that each one of them was worth approximately 2 normal beers, or approximately 3 Bud Lights, if you ever drink Bud Light, which I would not recommend that you do. It's acceptable until some time in your early twenties, before which drinking things like Pabst Blue Ribbon, Milwaukee's Best, and Natural Light is par for the course. But it's important to develop a certain sensitivity to the brand names of beer at some point, because they really do make a difference, and, as I have discovered, it also isn't a bad idea to investigate which beers have what appears, on label and in reality, twice the alcohol content of the beers that you are used to consuming.

And it is good to be home while you are doing all this discovering, so that you don't have to travel anywhere, which is no good whether you're a driver or a passenger, but is a particularly bad idea when you're a driver.

I hope this message has been of use to you, beer travelers. It will probably self-destruct tomorrow, unless I decide that I really have been doing a Good Thing by spreading the word, which is unlikely, particularly because when sober, I think I will probably recognize that my sentences are horribly long and strung together with seemingly endless series of commas, which is not always awful, but probably will seem so when the light comes up again. Don't let the bastards fool ya, whoever those bastards may be for you, and even if you don't yet know that they exist.
