Drink Responsibly...by Recycling!

Want to be a green beer enthusiast by doing more than just purchasing green beer? Here are some creative applications of "empties" being given another use to inspire you!

For those happen to enjoy whiskey as much as, if not, more than beer, here are some decorative glasses that were once beer bottles sold at the Museum of Modern Art. Classy, huh?
These eyeglasses were once beer bottles too!And for the beer enthusiasts looking for that fun addition to their bars at home, this chandelier from Barlite that's sure to impress your friends.
Or, if you prefer something more romantic, here's a tealight holder:
And finally, here's a new use for all those pesky metal caps: fishing lures! Check out this video to see how it's done:

OC Beer Fest

Just thought it may be interesting to let everyone know that Orange County will have its own beer event. It will be held on May 14th, 2011 at the Irvine Lake and admission is $40. It includes unlimited four ounce pours.

What a great way to check what the local competition has to offer and to experience a great day outdoors with friends.

Why Don't Women Like Beer?

According to MRI+, only 26.1% of women ages 18-49 drink beer.

Here are three reasons why I, a woman of 22, do not choose beer above other beverages:

(1) Taste & Smell - I've never been able to finish a beer after first tasting it. (Granted, I was never really allowed to at the age I sampled them.) I do not find the smell appetizing, nor do I enjoy the flavor in combination with the carbonation.

(2) Alternatives - If I want a cold drink on a hot day, or alongside a slice of pizza, I'll go for a Coke on ice. If I'm celebrating with friends and wish to feel a "buzz," I'll enjoy a shot of tequila (or two, depending on the occasion) or a fruity mixed drink. Furthermore, why would I drink five beers to achieve the same intoxication with only a couple shots, or a really powerful mixed drink?

(3) Perception - I perceive beer to have masculine qualities. Though I don't consider myself to be overtly feminine (what with my taste in movies, rock music, clothing, etc.), I do not wish to associate myself with being "manly" on the occasions during which I drink alcoholic beverages.
