If we had 10 beers and 10 people:

3 of the people would drink 0 beers.
5 of the people would all share 2 of the beers. (less than 1/2 beer per person)
1 of the people would drink 2 of the beers.
1 of the people would drink 6 of the beers.

Guess which one of those people I was ?:) Better grab a beer quick before I drink 'em all !

SO Which one are/were you ?
