    My youth when I used to drink Bud and Bud light. The thought of that garbage makes me sick!

    That is probably one of the most horrific things that you could have had happen to you. We did this to one of my fraternity bros, but with a 12 pack. We hid it all around his apartment. Hilarity ensued.

    Hmm, I have a few I can think of off the top of my head:

    1) I can't find Double Bastard anywhere locally.

    2) Freshman year of college I would willingly drink Beast Ice.

    3) Senior year of high school I funneled 3 Busch Lights at once. Let's just say those beers and many others were on the ground later that evening.

    4) 2 years ago at a bar in Connecticut, I was put into a bind : Drink Heineken or Sam Adams for $6 a pop, or PBR 16 ouncers for $3. Now I loathe PBR and like both SA and Heineken, but knew that I'd save a ton of $, as I knew it was going to be a long night. Much $ was saved, but my head the next AM. UGH. One of the worst hangovers of my life. Head felt like it was gonna explode, had gut rot something fierce, was just bad.

    I'm about to take three cases worth of Cantillon and a couple 3F and Westy bottles on three separate planes from Italy to NY...it survived the flight from Belgium to Italy no problem...now lets just hope I don't have to seek solace by coming back onto this thread once I get home...

    My mother-in-law lives with me currently in a situation that was supposed to be "temporary" but had turned into a 2 year and counting scenario... That's bad enough... I came home from running an errand this morning to hear "I broke one of your beers. It was an accident." with a slight smirk. From my mother in law. The one that's lived with me 2 years too long now... 3rd time in 6 months now.. First time was a Stone Sublimely Self- Righteous which hurt but wasn't a deal breaker.. Second time was a Mayflower Thanksgiving Ale. That one pissed me off... Highly.. I was saving that beer for this Thanksgiving.That was about 2 weeks ago. I went to the refrigerator to assess the damage. There I find the last Backyard Rye Bourbon County stout that I own. Broke all to hell....

    I usually don't post things like this in the forums. I can't help it, I am pissed! We all have horror stories like this I'm sure...

    Let me hear 'em so I can at least feel some better.

    That sucks man.
    Worse thing that happened to me is my roommate's younger brother broke in to the apartment with his friends and opened a magnum of Cantillon Gueze and took two sips out of it and drained it! When I got home I almost had a stroke.

    My question is what could she possibly be doing that she keeps breaking these bottles? Also, what does your wife think about all this happening?

    Man you are between a rock and a hard place. You have my deepest sympathies.

    You cann't do it , but it will make you feel better to dream

    1. Present bill for beer broken
    2 Present map of the house where she is allowed
    3 Present new lease arrangement with exorbitant rent
    4 When not paid present eviction notice.

    The wife and I have had several arguments about her presence in my domain. This one just really pissed me off today. I do realize that I am in a no win situation. That doesn't make me feel any better though.

    I'll never forget this day, it seemed like it was just yesterday even though it must have been 20 years ago. I had checked into a hotel in Indiana. I had dinner, then went to a large convenience store to buy a few cold ones and settle in for the night. I walked in the store, walked slowly to the cold display cases, eyeing the entire store. I spotted a display of beer near the check out counter. Now to get some cold ones. I looked carefully at the refrigerated cases, all kind of soda, milk and other stuff a human being would never consider drinking. Whaaaa? No beer in there? OK, plan B, I can get ice at the hotel and put the beer on ice. So I picked up a 12 pack and took it to the check out counter. The clerk eyed me suspiciously and I asked him if he had any cold ones. As he put his hands on my 12 pack he said not only did they not have any colds one but they have no warm ones either, as it was Sunday!

    How can an entire state live like that? We need a constitutional amendment freeing beer from state blue laws!

    What kind of accident leads to '[breaking] one of your beers'? That sounds so bizarre.

    There are not enough "dislike" buttons on the interwebs for this comment. That's lousy.

    I was already a few beers deep and under the influence of another substance when I reached for a Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Double IPA. I wasn't holding onto it well enough and it slipped right through my hand. Beer and glass all over the floor.

    Sounds like she has an attitude and is doing this to piss you off. Get yourself a locking fridge.
