Revive my blogging?
So recently I stumbled upon this blog, my old blog. I had initially started this in college as a little side thing to try out and now I was considering picking back up on it. Maybe a different blog altogether though as I am no longer the "crazy college student" drinking every night, though I still do drink a lot just in moderation now. Not sure if anyone reads this blog anyway but if anyone happens to check this out please look back at my blog a bit and let me know what you think. Should I try to revive this and maybe start a side blog as well, or just give up on this one and try a new one?

Beer you need to try
Ok so it may be late for many of you to get the opportunity to try this beer this time but one beer that every person should try as soon as they find it is Bell's Hopslam. This is a temporary beer that Bells puts out a couple times a year and is amazing. Best IPA/DIPA in the world by far, I urge you to try this beer as soon as you can, words do not give it justice and therefore I will not even try, all I will say is get it an drink it. Don't be put off by its higher price, it is worth every penny.

FREE BEER
Ok well it has been a long time since my last post but I am trying to get back into it now. One reason for my time off was from working a lot, now i dont work quite as much due to school but I sure do drink as much beer. One extra source of income that I would like to share that I have found is CashCrate now i could go on for a while about how this site is so easy and what not but all i will say is this. I make $20-$50 a month consistantly with this site and have not spent a single penny to do it, this makes for a few free cases a month which is one thing I love.

Drinking Age?
As a legal drinker in the USA I would like to share my opinions on the american drinking age and the idea of a drinking age in general.
For starters I believe that the American drinking age is too high. College towns in the country have too many cops looking for underage drinkers when they should be more concerned with things like theft and drunk driving. For this reason I believe that if the USA should have a drinking age it should be changed to 19. This age is the same as canada, and would allow almost all people out of high school to drink. After high school is the time when the majority of people start drinking the most (many also drink in high school, as did I. But after HS drinking tends to increase, not in a bad way though). They say college is a time for experimenting, not learning about how to avoid cops for something that is non-violent and not dangerous (if done intelligently, like everything) am I right?
My true opinion though is that drinking ages should not exist. True aboloshing the drinking age abruptly would lead to a lot of young people drinking that should not but that would subside quickly. Insted people would learn about drinking from their parents and most would learn how to drink responsibly at an early age. They would learn what "drunk" is and would KNOW that driving in that condition is a poor choice...before they learn to drive and find out the hard way. Early learning is when things 'stick' best, that has been proven, so why not apply that to alcohol as well?
Underage drinking will happen, and cannot be stopped. To a point it is bad and should not happen but most of the time it is completely fine. In many european countries there is no drinking age and children are allowed to drink wine from when they are very young. Consumption of alcohol is not damaging to the body if done in moderation and thus when people learn what moderation is early in life they become much smarter drinkers. This is why I find the system flawed and plea for change to save the future from having my tax dollers go to prevent something that does no harm to anyone. Why can someone die because of a country and not have a beer before they do it?

All Time Greatest Beer Movies
Because I like 2 things, beer and movies(that is not all but for this it is all that matters), I have compiled a list of the Top 5 Beer Movies. There is no strict definition of what makes a movie a beer movie, you just know it when you watch it.
5) Beer Fest IMDB -- This one is cliche to be mentioned first and really not a good movie at all, but it does make you want to drink beer, and the main topic of it is beer, this makes it good enough to go on the list.
4) American Beer IMDB -- Well this is actually a documentary about friends going around and visiting American breweries, and it is very well done. This movie taught me a lot about micro-breweries and I would suggest that any beer fan watches it as well.
3) Old School IMDB - More of an Animal House for the newer generation but still comes off as great. Frank the Tank will forever be in the Hollywood beer drinking hall of fame.
2)Strange Brew IMDB - If you haven't seen this, then go watch it however you prefer to watch movies. It is maybe the ultimate movie with beer as the topic, though somehow it still doesn't take the #1 position on this list.
1) Animal House IMDB - Classic movie about partying and drinking, and though beer may not be explicitly the topic of this movie, any movie about college partying counts a great beer movie to me. This movie almost makes me like frats. This movie is also more memorable and quotable than any other movie on this list, its just a good movie.
Please feel free to comment on my list and share your favorites as well
