That is re god damned dickulous.

Paid to drink, at that point the Hero tag should trump everything...

The employee said in his lawsuit that for more than a decade, he drank between 16 and 25 small glasses of beer during his eight-hour shifts at the company

Damn! and he went on vacation he still drank as much as he did at work. And I get grief when I check email while on vaca.

My résumé is in the mail.

You don't own beer. You just rent it.

Think of all the beer he could buy with that...

Aren't tasters supposed to spit it out? Besides, what I consider good beer on the first drink, and what I consider good beer after a few are completely different things...

Brewery: so sir how does it taste? We've paid you $50 grand just to taste it and we'd like to here the results...

Guy: it sucks...thanks for the cash though

Brewery: well guys we can put "salmon" flavored beer off our list.

picturescrazy

That's what I had come in here to say as well.

He drank under 4 pints a day and he calls him self an alcoholic?

It is not how much you drink that makes you an alcoholic, its actually being dependent on the alcohol and the things that occur every time you drink the alcohol.

I do know what you are trying to say though.

Hmmm I was taught in a wine apperication course that you were NOT to swallow the wine, you were to spit it out. I imagian the same would be true for beer.

God damn brewery! You know that brewery makes 10,000 bottles of beer a day. I drink 45 of them, and I'm the asshole!

The company alleged the employee already was an alcoholic before becoming a beer taster.

Then they should also be fined for underpaying a certified expert for all of those years.

It is not how much you drink that makes you an alcoholic, its actually being dependent on the alcohol and the things that occur every time you drink the alcohol.

Actually, the quantity of drink is a criteria in diagnosis (depending on who is doing the diagnosing).

When they mentioned this on the radio, they said the money was for his rehab costs.

Hey where can I get a job like that?

i think my logic circuits just blew out after reading that one.

I owe my soul to the company store

Actually, beer tasters are supposed to swallow, since some of the hop flavors are perceived at the back of the tongue.

If he was a construction worker and got injured from repetitive trauma he would be deserving of employer assistance. Or if he worked with asbestos and got ill.

/no difference

Nobody's biatching and moaning that it's not ironic?

WHERE THE FARK ARE THE IRONY POLICEMEN???

Boomshay

NICE

I just drink because it's my job.

I could quit whenever I want.

Kind of reminds me of the boy who murdered his parents and then begged for mercy from the court because he was an orphan.

When I had a summer job at a brewery, we could have a total of ten 8 ounce glasses in a shift. (Not counting the damned fine cold bottles straight from the filler that would appear by magic up on the fourth floor during a hot Friday night shift. It's bad luck to turn down magic beer!)

Ledur also said the employee's alcohol dependency had worsened in recent years and that even on vacation, the employee felt like drinking the same amount of beer he drank at work.

Some people go on vacation to leave their work behind, others take it with them.

Now THERE's a job for Bob and Doug McKenzie now that their Mouse Quality Control positions have been outsourced.

Damn, they could've saved $49,000 by teaching the man to spit.

Beer #1 - This ale has the richness of a fruit cake, and develops suggestions of straw and iron while aging in the ceiling-high tuns, typically for between one and three years.... Oaky, winey, chocolatey, sweet-and-sour, with notes of passion fruit.
Beer #4 - Fairly big white head. Copper/light brown colour. Distinct hop aroma. Medium high, somewhat sharp bitterness. Some crystal malt character
Beer #8 - MMMMMM....malty. Like...beer, yum. More pretzels?
Beer #12 - Grdnnnnnbbbbblttttaaaaaaaargh.........

50 Thou a year'll buy a lot of beer.

If this is "ironic", than I guess maybe pizza is "Chinese", St. Bernards are "reptilian", and polyester is "suspenseful"

That's great man, got to hand it to Brazil. Home of the biggest party on earty, and blow for ten bucks a handful.

Actually, the quantity of drink is a criteria in diagnosis (depending on who is doing the diagnosing).

Of course that is going to play a part but there are alcoholics who have very low tolerance, which goes back to the
quote that I made my original comment with.

I work in a rehab, I have clients who can drink insane amounts
and clients who only drink a few glasses of wine at a time.

Never use a preposition to end a sentence with.

This is not ironic.

Thank GOD. The Irony Policemen have arrived.

I didn't know what to do! I was in a panic. Thank you, Irony Policemen!!!!!!11!1

Well, here's something to help...

100 to 1 says he buys more beer with it.

anyone have the email address I can send my resume to?

So... which came first, the alcoholic or the beer taster?

Hmmmm... I wonder what the hell he's gonna do with all that money?
