Money Crisis and Oregon Beer

Since I now live in one of the largest microbrew areas in the US, I thought this was very fitting to post. Oregonians know how to make beer and know how to drink it. So I thought this way of thinking was quite an interesting way to look at finances and the state that our economy is in. (Thanks to Julia for sending this to me.)

If you had purchased $1,000.00 of Delta Air Lines stock one year ago you would have $49.00 left. With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00. With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank all of the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling, the REFUND you would have gotten would have been $214.00 cash. Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink beer and recycle. It's called the 401-Keg

A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found Americans drink, on the average, 22 gallons of beer a year. That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
