bad rap

It has been said many times that beer does makes people lazy or that if you drink beer you will be unproductive. And in some cases that may be true. But IMHO, beer can lead to some great accomplishments. I know it certainly plays a big part when it comes time to clean the gym and to be honest I don’t think cleaning would be half as fun without a beer. A big thanks to DG for recognizing the usefulness of beer as a motivating tool.
