Lol. Still waiting for the rest of the family to wake up. I have babysitting duty watching my two year old grandson. The beer and party will start later today along with a backyard low country boil and fire works. Yippy, cant wait. ;)))))
Memorial day isn't celebrated in Australia (we honour Anzac Day on April 25th instead). As for "forcing beers", I'm with the Monkees girl - who has to force them?
I've got to be careful with martinis - they're a good way to get plastered VERY quickly and they sneak up on you. Beer is a good way to relax, it takes quite a lot of it to get drunk. One martini equals three beers and is about one third the quantity.
No, never been to Australia or the Czech Republic. When we were in Berlin, we would come back to the hotel after a long day of sightseeing and we'd stop at the bar and have an ice cold dark beer. It was the only thing that quenched my thirst. The problem for me is that after one beer, my arms become lead weights and I need a nap. The only beer in the States that tasted anything like the one in Germany was Lowenbrau Dark which could only be bought at a certain time of the year - around October/November.
