Here is more:

Beer Drinking Rules
You are officially cut-off if you break any of these rules. There are no exceptions!!

Rule 1001 - No Spillage
Spilling any amount of beer will get you cut off and thrown out! You better come up with one hell of an excuse to get out of this one...especially if it's my homebrew!!

Rule 1002 - No Dual Openers
Anyone accidentally opening another beer, before finishing their current beer, is cut off.

Rule 1003 - No Warm Brew
Bringing warm (non-refrigerated) beer just pisses people off!!

Rule 1004 - No Pretenders
You either can or can't handle your beer -- 'nuff said.

Rule 1005 - No Freeloading
You may show up once without bringing your own supply. After that, you are cut off!

Rule 1006 - No Quitters
My favorite rule...if you pour it, you drink it!! People who leave half full bottles or pints of beer for me to clean up the next day should be shot, hung, stabbed, and then tortured!

Rule 1007 - No Ghosting
Forgetting where you left your beer is only forgiven if you don't break the "5 second rule." Remember where it is in 5 seconds or less and you may continue to indulge.

Rule 1008 - No Illegal Dumping
You know the type - this is the person who takes so long to finish their beer that it has become warm and flat. They try to sneak over to a bush or a sink and dump it out so they can go get a fresh refill. Please refer to Rule 1006.

Rule 1009 - No Hyper-Pumpers
Take it easy on the keg, you only need to pump it once or twice while the tap is OPEN...get it?

Rule 1010 - No Carousing
Under no circumstances may you hit on your buddy's spouse, UNLESS your buddy says it's okay!

Rule 1011 - No Mine Sweeping
There is no excuse for losing track of your beer and grabbing the closest beer as if it were yours...get your own!

Rule 1012 - No Ahh Shits
An ahh **** is what most of us say when we open the freezer and discover that we left the beer in there too long! We've all done it, but three "Ahh Shits" and you're outta here!

Rule 1013 - No Butting
Accidentally or purposely dropping a cigarette butt into an otherwise good beer will get you thrown out and chastised until the end of time!

Rule 1014 - No Bring and Switch
If you bring it, you drink it. Don't bring in some cheap-***, knock off, $4.85 a case beer, and drink the other good beer in the house first.
- Greg Bailey, Winchester, Ky.

Rule 1015 - No Slamming Good Beer
No slamming of quality ales or lagers! Good beer is ment to be enjoyed. You may however slam a Bud or a Coors (first beer only ) just to get the taste of the day out of your system. Then enjoy a real beer.
- Brian Sluggett, Oakdale, Ca.

Rule 1016 - Giving Head Is For Chicks
If you pour a beer for someone too quickly, you just became "beer-*****" for the night. Oh, yeah, and you're cut-off.
- Adam Mason



Rule 1017 - No "Tapping"
The act of "tapping" your bottle of beer atop the bottle of another person's beer, thereby causing a pressure reaction and a volcanic effect, thereby ruining a good beer. This rule may be violated only if you can buy a case of said beer for less than $5.00.
- Jon Brooks, Meredith, NH.

Rule 1018 - Vomiting
Vomiting In Bounds A beer drinker who vomits in a toilet, in bushes, or other area designated by the Host as "in bounds" shall not be penalized in any way, and shall receive kudos and honoraria if he continues drinking after vomiting in bounds.


Vomiting Out Of Bounds A beer drinker who vomits on carpet, upholstered furniture, or other area designated by the hose as "out of bounds" shall be subject to penalties, including but not limited to: being dragged through own vomit, being stripped naked and left in the front yard, and paying for the cost of cleaining. Nevertheless, a beer drinker who vomits out of bounds and continues drinking may receive kudos and honoraria at the Host's discretion.
- Prestor John, Miami, Fl.


Rule 1019 - No Updating
There is no walking around saying "I'm so wrecked, this is my 8th." If you're sober enough to remember how many you've had, then you havent had enough!
- Jimmy Sear, Centereach, NY

Rule 1020 - No Cheapos
If you chip in a dollar or two to get a case, dont expect to be
able to drink as much as you want. A beer or two is all you get- three tops if your friends are in a good mood. If you wanna drink up- pay up.
- Monica Lee, Wichita, KS

The Beer Prayer (not a rule, but worthy of the list)
Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be Thy drink,
Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
At home as I am in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us,
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers,
For thine is the beer,
The bitter and the lager,
Forever and ever, Barmen

Answer 2

In a bar - not unless the person who didn't go for the beer paid for it. It's the "I'll buy if you fly" strategy. If I'm drinking with a friend and decide to wander up to the bar to get a freshie, I'm only coming back with that one beer.

Well ..... unless Happy Hour is ending in which case I'll grab myself a second or third, lol!

At home? Sure. It's all your beer there already, so it's only polite.

Answer 3

depends are they going out to have a beer? If so then no, but if they are going out to get a beer and bring it back to drink it in front of you then they should have asked if you wanted one as well. But who buys just one beer anyways don't most people by a 12 or 30 pack of beer when they are buying beer. Shoot I couldn't just drink one beer.

Answer 4

well the polite way is ...say..I am going to the store anyone want anything...and you say ...bring me back a beer...or ..here some money..bring an extra such and such..type beer...So that we can share more and have an abundance of beer..and then you say anyone else want to contribute to the beer run i am going to make..that will make people know you bought the beer and everyone who contributed..then you will know if they are moochers because if they get a beer and didnt contribute......which ..people get very upset over..i dont know why but ..it doesnt bother me..if they want to be that way.....maybe they dont know the difference or the rules of beer buying hehehheee..here in Texas at least...

Answer 5

Yes, that's the rule...unless you don't want a beer or you don't drink. I don't drink so bring me back a sprite with light ice.

But make sure that whoever is the DD doesn't get any beer.

Answer 6

no, what if you dont want one, or what if your religion prohibits you from touching a beer, or what if there is some terrorist there who hates beer, or what if the beer is poisioned, or what if the beer is radioactivie, or what if the beer is laced with cocaine, or what if the beer was stolen, or what if the beer is stale, or what if the beer is over cooked, or what if the beer is so cold the bottle breaks in your hand you get infected and die ?

Answer 7

Yes, I believe that it would be the polite thing to do....not necessary buy the drink but just by saying "I'm off to the bar...would anyone like any thing?" Most people would offer to buy their own anyways...and then the asker can decide if they wish to buy the round or accept their money....!

Answer 8

well it depends, do you like beer? do they know if you like it or not? these are things you need to wonder, and if they don't then they needed to ask if you wanted one cause that's just good manners and being courteous, they would want you to think of them when you got up for one, and if they don't it is acceptable to ask them to bring you one back.

Answer 9

That would be a lovely thing to do. Plus a take-away! Only way to make amends, I feel.

Answer 10

are you a raging alcoholic?is that other person aware of it if you are...?maybe that person thinks you don't need another beer,you're drunk enough....maybe they have ADD and can only focus on one beer at a time,
