watching a History Chanel special on alchohol, it's history, how its made, social aspects, etc.

They just showed a Munich Beer Garden and THOSE HUGE MUGS OF FROSTY DELICIOUS BREW... (btw, I think it should be called "Garden of Eden" and that's where I want to be)

or plantations where Blue Agave Cactus lives and how its made into tequila....

or belvediere vodka highly-sophisticated distilling machine...

I have nearly fully stocked bar and half of case of beer.. Yet I'm not allowed to touch any of it.

Why you ask? erm... I'm on antibiotics for next 3 weeks!

*sob* *sob* *sob*

help me through these difficult moments, o wise C0Re

I'm curious I've seen those giant Steins at Octoberfest, anyone from Germany able to tell me how much one of them actually holds?

well, they said that waiter carrying fully loaded (12 mugs) is carrying 63Lbs.

5.25Lbs/mug, less the weight of the mug iteslf... (say 2 lbs) - you do the math. I estimate 1.5L

Nothing kills germs like alcohol. So why do you need anti-biotics again?

I can take 2 in one shot (I think).

If you got history channel - tune in, you can still catch glimpse of this wonderful art - beer brewing!

I had no idea that beer was made back in ancient egypt (about 6000 years ago!!!!!!!!!) and spread to europe from there!!!! I thought that all those german/european breweries writing "since 1425" or "bavarian purity law" - I thought it was actually all marketing crap. Who knew that it was actually true! Wow

Those beautiful suds are calling me!

don't tempt me, you cruel cruel person you! perhaps 1 little bottle of beer won't hurt, would it?

...so I did a research:

Q Do Alcohol and Antibiotics Mix?
Does drinking while taking antibiotics lessen the effect of the medication?
A Answer (Published 4/9/2004)

A widespread myth holds that you shouldn't drink alcohol while taking antibiotics, but in fact, drinking doesn't lessen the effects of the drugs. However, alcohol can lower your general energy and delay your recovery so it is best to minimize drinking until you've finished the prescribed course of antibiotic treatment. (Beyond that, chronic liver damage from excessive alcohol consumption can affect the metabolism and toxicity of antibiotics.)

a person or entity who invents an antibiotic that safely delivers medication in a form of an alchoholic beverage in my book is worthy of the Nobel Prize.
