Do you have an irrational need to say things like ‘cheers’, ‘santé’, or even ‘l’chaim’? Do you find nothing more delightful than the taste of a smooth lager when it first hits your lips? Maybe your friends just seem a lot funnier after you’ve had a pint or two; whatever the case, if reading those last few sentences hasn’t already gotten you down to your local pub, it’s time to make a good call and change that right this instant!
Life is full of things that can easily bring you down. Whether it’s something like the horrific state of the economy or something much more pressing like the fact that the moustache you were growing is not exactly working as well as you hoped it would to attract the ladies, there’s no reason to sit around and let these concerns get on top of you.
All you really need to do to remind yourself of how fantastic life can be is spend time with the people who make you laugh, and enjoy that laughter over a cold glass of beer. You really don’t need any other reason to head down to the bar other than the fact life’s short and should be enjoyed to the fullest.
Even if you’re feeling more inclined to spend the night in with your mates, behold the mighty institution known as the supermarket, which has allowed customers to bring beer back to their homes for as long as anyone can remember. This way, you can enjoy the good stuff not just at the bar, but wherever you fancy.
Beer has been around since 9000 BC when the Egyptians were building their pyramids (no joke!). It’s safe to say that if this pastime has been enjoyed for this long already, it’s one that’s only going to stick around for another couple of thousand years so you might as well make the most of the time you have now and hop to it sooner than later.
When selecting your beverage of choice, whether you’re at the bar or in the supermarket, the decision should never really be that difficult to make. Even if you’re all grown up, you know your parents would want you to be sensible and not throw away your hard-earned cash on a pretentious beer that doesn’t even taste good.
It’s safe to say that when you’re looking for a great way to kick back and have a laugh, it’s usually a good call to add a pint or two of beer in the mix. You may have seen the Fosters Advert for its new campaign on the telly to celebrate this idea, and if you haven’t yet, it’s safe to say you will very soon.
The brewer’s new campaign enlists Brad and Dan, two Aussie Blokes who are around on the phone to give some sound advice to their concerned callers. This includes answering the age-old question of ‘Will my girlfriend grow up to look like her mother?’ and other pressing topics that we all think about.
Whether it’s worrying about who our girlfriends will turn out to be or whether we'll get that promotion at work, it really is nice to just push these concerns aside for a bit and relax.
Of course, sometimes when the beer comes out it tends to taste better and become more impossible to resist after each glass has been sunk. For this reason, it is always important to plan ahead in the event that things get a little out of hand.
Brad and Dan would certainly agree that taking the precautions to get yourself and your mates home safely after a night of drinking is one of the best calls you can make.
Before you start clinking your glasses and chugging down sips of the world’s most magical elixir, you’ll want to be sure to have a hearty meal beforehand. This way, you’ll be able to really stay awake and enjoy the night rather than bottom out after one drink.
Another fun and responsible tip to consider is to always have a glass of water around to compliment your beer. Alcohol acts as an agent that dehydrates your system, so you’ll want to be sure to replenish and sip on the H2O as the night progresses.
If you’re not in walking distance from your beer drinking destination of choice and do not have access to public transport facilities, it is imperative that one of your mates stays sober so that they can drive your sloppy faces home. This way, you will all remain safe, and the people you share the road with will also remain out of harm’s way.
It’s always nice to volunteer to take the turn to be the designated driver for your friends because you know you that everyone will be taken care of; but even more so, you know that next time you go out, they will seriously owe you a bouquet of beers for your services during the last bender.
Don’t let life’s worries get you down! Stand tall against them and show them who's boss by having a fantastic time with the great company that only your best mates can provide you with.
One of the worst things anybody could ever do is sit at home and let these moments pass you by! Don’t let yourself make an awful call like this; get out there, enjoy yourself and get to making some great new memories with the people who make life all the more worthwhile.
Enjoy your life, the company of friends, the sound of laughter and the taste of beer…but be sure to enjoy these all of these things responsibly. There’s a four pack with your name on it at your local supermarket, and if you’re looking to get out of the house and drink with the locals, you’ll be sure to find a pint waiting for you at the pub. Cheers!
