To me, National Beer Lovers Day is similar to National Mac and Cheese Day, in that I rarely consume either product. (Ironically, I\u00a0<em>do<\/em>\u00a0like Pasta Alfredo, which is mac and cheese with a better publicist.)<\/p>\n<p>But I rarely drink beer. Or lager, porter, stout or any of the ales: blonde, brown, pale or India pale. To me, all of them smell a bit like horse urine. I can&#8217;t claim they all <em>taste<\/em> like that because thus far in my sometimes-star-crossed life, no one has either suggested or forced me to do so. I think a Blake Shelton fan I offended once at a country-western concert by asking him to remove his Stetson so I could see the stage might have considered it; but his girlfriend dissuaded him from doing so with style and wit, saying, &#8220;You look great without the hat, Honey!&#8221; While I didn&#8217;t quite agree with her\u2014the guy sported a combover that began beneath the back of his collar and continued to make a world tour of his head before alighting just above his eyebrows\u2014I appreciated the effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Over the years I&#8217;ve found that beer, which this guy had been gulping down as if the manufacturer were on the verge of recalling it, can make people angry and irrational. So, of course, can vodka, gin rye, bourbon, scotch and warm Orange Nehi (I once got very sick from drinking the latter at a carnival put on as a fundraiser by my parents&#8217; temple in Southern California. Of course, this was moments after I&#8217;d been on the tilt-a-whirl for the first and, as God is my witness, final time in my life.)<\/p>\n<p>But beer has a particularly dubious past. Hitler formed the Nazi Party by stirring up the masses at German beer halls, at which one suspects refreshments were served. In cowboy movies, guys get all likkered up\u2014on rotgut whiskey, sure, but also on beer\u2014to gain the courage to become a lynch mob.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/goldmanstate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/amazon_shoes.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Looking for a Great Gift?&#8221; title_text=&#8221;amazon_shoes&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/amzn.to\/3wwzowG&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Amazon Banner &#8211; Limited Time&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#eeeeee&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true&#8221; global_module=&#8221;2981&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;endingG&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.6&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Blast from the past:<\/p>\n<p>Burt Lancaster as Wyatt Earp is about to help Kirk Douglas as Doc Holliday flee from a hanging party.
