Why do we drink beer?

1. To socialize.

2. To make it look like we're socializing.

3. To prove we can.

4. Because beer's 'hot'. (Fine. It's usually cold. But it makes you seem hot.)

5. Because of the acquired taste (thanks to hops).

6. Because it relaxes us somehow and makes us sleep better (the latter part of the sentence I don't really agree with).

7. Because beer increases the amount of good cholesterol (HDL) into the bloodstream as well as helps decrease blood clots. (Go, Google it.)

8. Because it warms you up (this number is waaay different from statement 4).

9. Because you get to think more clearly. Trust me.

10. Because it justifies your being a show off. And your being passionate. And emo.

11. Because it allows you to be and everyone else will either forgive you for 'being' or not take your words and actions seriously. (And then you can rest knowing that they'd shrug everything off thereafter. )

12. Because we want beer. And more beer!

13. Peer pressure?

14. Because we'd like to be on the morning news: Minor arrested for DUI.

15. Because we'd like to experiment with tastes.

16. Because we'd like to see (and feel) the aftereffects.

17. Because we don't like the hangovers that hard liquor causes.

18. Because we're Pinoys and huge fans of Red Horse.

19. Because our fathers drink beer. And our forefathers did, too. And their forefathers. And their... zzz.

20. Because beer's fun!

21. Because we don't want to outlive our friends by being squeaky clean and vice-free.

22. Because we want to live crazily for the moment and wake up the next morning to tell the tale. Or to make sure everyone else does not (tell the tale).

23. Because it livens up the world, somehow. Everything's vivid and magical. And, in it, you can be so happy - yes, in that drunken stupor.

24. Because. Just because.
