Well, I bet our current former-alcoholic, druggie president can do that.

So they're voting Republican in the presidential election this year?

Thought there already was an American Beer Drinker's party or something like that. Sign me up!

Do we have to drink AMERICAN beer?

/hopes not

I nominate 4score&7beersago.

*hic*I
*burp* accept.
Ask not what your brewery can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your brewery.

Well, Bush has this one nailed, for sure!

But someone, PLEASE, offer him a ride home this time! He doesn't need to be arrested AGAIN!

Sounds like the Libertarian party.

They have the most rediculous, silly conventions.

American beer just isnt that good. However, the article didnt specify which beer you had to shotgun, just remember bring enough to share!

Just what the left needs, more division.

Yeah, it is "spiffy" when people make a mockery of the democratic process.

Although he won't divulge the name yet, Wilson says the candidate "embodies the idea of partying."

It's gonna be SPUDS MACKENZIE! I guarantee it. He's the only candidate that embodies the idea of partying.

OLD NEWS, C'mon that was the criteria GW used to get the office...That and he can snort a 5 foot long rail of ANY POWDERY SUBSTANCE from the floor, while standing, in a single pass, thru 6 attatched McDonald's straws.

BTW Seneca Doane, What democratic process, this is a constitutional republic, nominally, but in reality it's an oligarchy of lawyers.
Some REALLY GOOD american brews BTW. More micro brews in California alone, than say *reaches deep for colon clotting figures* 1/2 of Europe. Granted most of them are crap but mmmmm some are GOLDEN. Sudwerks DoppleBock is to kill or die for. I DO MISS a really smooth Guinness or Murhpy's....

did anyone click on the "John Kerry is a Horny Jerk" link at the bottom of the page?

some funny anagrams there...

Arnold Shwarzenegger, Governor of California -> Sigh, an overgrown nerd in charge of zoo after recall.

Well it looks like 4 more years. Bush has this one in the bag. I wonder how many beers he practiced on before falling off the couch and getting attacked by the pretzel.

"Are you my fairy godmother?"
"I ain't no pussy fairy godmother. I'm your fairy hockey player. YOU NEED TO CHUG!"

I'm laughing my ass off at this, I know for a fact who the candidate will be but I ain't telling.

And for the record, as a Brit who spends plenty of time in the US, you guys do have some great beers. Sam Adams for a start but then the best I have come accross is Summit (Minnesota) and Moose Drool (Colorado I think)

You'll usually find me drinking Captain Morgan though

Actually I would say this is more the epitome of our democratic process than a mockery of it. After all the very foundation of a true democratic society is that ANYONE can run for office. So...yeah, spiffy :)

yes,, this is a fun idea. I'd rather hang w/ these guys than lefties and righties who'd get mad about people like this.

Yeah, because the process by which we choose the people who lead the most powerful country on earth is "way too serious these days".

Well, given that a significant number of people voted for Bush because he seemed more likeable than Gore, I don't find this ridiculous at all. In fact, it's a sublime parody of current events.

My time in the pint-of-Guinness competition is 7.9 seconds. But I am Canadian, so I cannot run for president.

What is the second-place prize?

Well second-place prize would be PM of Canada of course.

/kidding, please no Yank vs. Canuck flamewar

stackable, american beer is easily the most popular in the world.

therefore it is subjectively better.

it is objectively more successful.

stackable, american beer is easily the most popular in the world.

All that shows is that there are a lot of people out there who don't like beer, so are choosing the brands that are like making love in a canoe.

COOLGEEK:

What is the second-place prize?

Well, being from Canadia, you could be the Minister of Molsons, eh?

/Pounds 2 Guiness Pints in 10 seconds, yells, vomits, falls off bar...

Actually, as far as American Beer goes, Michael Jackson (no, not the pedophile, the beer critic, look him up), who comes from Britain, regards America as the best place in the world to get beer. When you factor in all of our microbreweries, brewpubs, etc, you realize that we have a very wide range of choices from American Standard (Budweiser), IPA's, Imperial Stouts, Belgian Abby Ales, and so forth. Also, since we're not living up to any tradition, as many European brewers do, we're among the most willing brewers when it comes to experimenting. Heck, I've even had Chili Pepper Beer (note, I didn't say they were all good ideas...)

now there needs to be a party that will endorse the biggest cocaine snorter, that way Bush will have another endorsement as well.

Brewer

I have to agree, in my travels around the US I have tasted many nice beers. All your points are true. It is large amounts of imigration in recent years (from Eureope and by recent I mean the last 200) which has made your beer selection what it is. Brewers from all styles and nations have come to the US and begin making their old beers with slightly changed products. Very nice stuff.
Also explains why things like Negra Modelo from Mexico tastes a bit like a German dark beer (set up by a German brewer who moved to Mexico)

Michael Jackson (yep the booze writer again) has very taste in all booze and has writain on the subject of scotch as well. That dude loves Johnnie Walker Black Label and in my mind that makes him a good guy!

i have a homie that drinks a 40oz in 58 seconds, and that includes a breath and a burp.
