I just bought my SO a teeshirt with C12O6 ------------\> 2 (C2H5 OH0) + 2CO2 on the front…the cemical formula for beer (on the back it has the emblem for Triumph Brewery. Because he’s thinking of buying a brewery. Rich, sexy, cool English accent and has his own brewery. Is this a boyfriend or what?) If you don’t like that there was another one that had “In wine there is truth, in beer there is clebration”. In Latin of course, but I can’t remember how to spell the second half. ---

Here’s a cool compilation of German toasts, sayings, and folk wisdom for all occasions arranged according to alphabetical themes. Unfortunately there are no English translations. [http://kalender-365.de/sms-sprueche/trinksprueche.php](http://kalender-365.de/sms-sprueche/trinksprueche.php) I like, “Trau keinem, der nicht trinkt.” (“Never trust someone who doesn’t drink.”). It’s short and would fit on a shirt. ---
