You Can Never Take Away the Pub!

Looking around the net, I came accross this post from some guy in Colorado (I oddly find lost of beer posts from people in Colorado…maybe they’re all drunk there?). In it, he says that Twitter reduced the need to go to a pub to socialize. Something about the economic downturn forcing people to drink at home.

Dear Pub Owners: PLEASE lower the price of beer. Something needs to be done to protect the sanctity of getting smashed in a bar! If there is no one around you physically, you are still drinking alone. Web friends don’t count.

Dear Poor People: Sell your laptop, then you will have enough money to go to the bar. Don’t use your financial situation to become a recluse.

The proper way to use Twitter to communicate about beer is to tweet things like “@francs, I’m over at St Louis grabbing some wings and a pitcher. You in?” or “I just ran into @darcievany who just ordered her 5th Mill Street Organic. Delicious!”
