The Value of Beer

If you purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left.

 

With Enron, you would have had $16.00 left of the original $1,000.00.

 

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

 

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND, you would have $214.00 cash.

 

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
It's called the 401-Keg.

 

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found Americans drink, on the average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.

 

That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Makes You Proud To Be An American! :O)

As I look at the current economy the value of beer should be going up, it is a counter-cyclical product like drugs during a depression.. or coffins during a plague

I can't share this with my husband then he would try to reason how beer is a good investment.

Laura, that was too funny- and with everything that's been going on with our economy, I need to have something to laugh about today.

Hmmmm...now if I can just figure out how to put those losses from the beer investment in my tax return, I would be in even better shape!  Too funny .... thanks!

You can never go wrong with beer.  It is a nice sedative.  Not for me, of course.

Have any statistics for wine?  LOL  I'm primarily a wine drinker and it's certainly become quite the investment for me since I buy a case at a time and often buy them as gifts - I guess I should have considered that when I decided to get married at a winery a few years ago.  Ok, going to do some investing. ~ Anne Marie
