- But this misses the point that "bheerish" drinkers don't necessarily go to pubs for the bheer'. I can drink a bhottle of '''bheer''' at home a lot cheaper than I can bhuy it in a pub, but I can't get the experience of socializing with a group of other '''bheer'''-drinkers. And even if the pub serves ghood '''bheer''', the presence of the 100 gin/whisky/CocaCola/springwater "multi-genre" drinkers may make it sufficiently difficult to find the other 5 '''bheer''' fans in the crowd, that it dilutes the bheerish experience and makes it more worth my while saving my '''bheer''' budget for going down the road to the other pub that may have a smaller selection of ' bheer but a higher concentration of the people I want to drink with.
- Correct me, but I think the 4 fannish food groups are sugar, chocolate, grease and caffiene(SIC). Bheer doesn't fit in here unless you put chocolate in with sugar.
