Personally I do not like beer, but I know many people love beer. I found this, and I thought all of you beer lovers and even beer haters would enjoy this. Enjoy! Here are 32 new reasons to love beer. 1)BATHE IN IT: Try bathing with a bottle of German Badebeir. It will make you smell like fresh bread and your skin feeling smooth and luxurious. 2)PUT OUT A FIRE: It is not as effective as a real fire extinguisher, but if none are available, a can or bottle of beer will work. Simply shake and spritz. 3) MARINATE MEAT: Beer is slightly acidic which makes it an excellent meat tenderizer. Beer also does not alter the meat’s flavor as much as wine and vinegar based marinades do. Poke a few holes in the meat, put in a Tupperware container or a resealable bag, and add beer. Marinate in refrigerator for a few hours or even overnight. Beware: do not drink the marinade. 4)POLISH POTS: Beer works great for polishing copper. It works great because of its acidity. 5)MAKE BEER BARBEQUE SAUCE: 1 medium Spanish onion, diced, 1 medium banana pepper, diced, 3 cloves garlic, minced, 2 tbsp capers, 5 ripe tomatoes, diced, 1 small can tomato paste, 1/3 c each wine vinegar, olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp fresh ground pepper, 1 tsp cumin, dash of ground clove, 12 ounces amber ale or porter. Combine all ingredients in large saucepan and boil for 10 minutes. Lower heat and simmer about 4 hours until thickened. Cool and refrigerate for 24 hours so the flavors can meld. Then baste everything. 6)SHAMPOO HAIR: Beer is the cure for dull hair. It will give your hair more shine and luster. 7)LOOSEN RUSTY BOLTS: Put some beer on them and wait a few minutes. The carbonation may help break up the rust. 8)CLEAR UP BROWN SPOTS IN YOUR LAWN: The fermented sugars in beer stimulate plant growth and kill fungi. Andrew Lopez, a professional gardener, recommends spraying either home brew or Roling Rock. 9)STEAM CLAMS OR MUSSELS 10)PASS A KIDNEY STONE: Beer is a diuretic. It helps flush the kidneys and bladder. It helps dilate the ureters ( the tubes connecting the kidneys and bladder) which may help you pass a stone quicker and easier. Also, the alcohol takes the edge off the pain. Now these are only the top ten, but if you enjoyed these, the rest are even better. There are uses such as curing insomnia, catching mice, soothe tired feet, massage yourself, and even build your next home. They are very interesting.
