I think anyone who drinks Michelob is likely a cannibal.

TIL drinking Michelob turns you into a cannibal

Now I kinda want to tour a Michelob brewery to see how it's made. But at the same time, I think that might be a bad idea.

They give out tours as you're the secret ingredient.

The tours are free and easy to take. But do you know anyone who's come back from one to tell you about it? Nope me neither.

Why not enjoy the experience of a great tasting beer without the hangover the next day? Why not savour the refreshing and crisp malt barley flavour as much as you want without worrying about having to get a taxi home? Michelob. Awesome beer. Alcohol free. (Warning, not suitable for vegetarians or people with haemochromatosis).

Have you tried their cactus lime, though? I've been sober for 2 years with no real ceavings, but I really miss one of those after a day of working outside.

Well done. Two years is a monumental achievement.

While I appreciate it, it's not a monumental achievement for me.

I like to say that sober me is not an alcoholic, but tipsy me is. I have no problem at all not drinking, but if I start I have a hard time stopping. It's just easier for me to not drink than to try to practice moderation.

I say this to point out that I haven't faced the same struggles quitting that true alcoholics do.

Fair enough. I went to rehab for drug use and have passed two years but it was terribly difficult at times and still can be. The people trying to deal with alcohol issues at the treatment centre I was at went through hell and I always feel for them and their struggle.

I just thought a good pat on the back might help as you worked through your recovery.

Glad you’re doing well either way.

How old are you? If you’re still young keep an eye on that.

yeah, but your conflating correlation with causation. Anyone who willingly drinks Michelob is already a cannibal.
