    Okay, many of these most of us know.

    Drunken ants and more fun beer stuff from Discover.

    Who can add some important/fun things we didn't know about beer to the list?

    I have learned a lot. Best of all that I will save a lot of money on beer by moving to Great Britain and sucking on people's facial hair as they leave the pub.

    I'd like to know more about the study mentioned in number 17.

    What I learned about beer recently is that an empty can of Heady still smells pretty good the morning after.

    I learned there may be a reason why some beers smell a little like bong water.

    After my first 5 years of drinking I learned there's more to beer than adjunct lagers.

    After the next 5 years of drinking I learned there's more to beer than IPAs.

    What will I learn next...?

    They are wrong! Beer cures my farts. I'm just not old enough to be an old fart...

    I did realize that since I quit drinking BMC stuff I know longer get beer farts.

    #21. It's a waste of time to read articles by supposed journalists who know next to nothing about beer, but get assigned the task by their editors because they drink Blue Moon.

    There's more like 17 or 18 since a few are just continuations of the previous point. But some were amusing.
