    Work this out as you read.


    Do not read the bottom until you've worked it out!

    This is not one of those waste of time things, it's serious because
    it's about beer.


    1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would
    like to have a beer, or your preferred tipple.



    2. Multiply this number by 2 (Just to exaggerate)



    3. Add 5. (for Friday Night)



    4. Multiply it by 50 (just for the hell of it). I'll wait while you
    get the calculator................



    5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1751....
    If you haven't, add 1750 ..........



    6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born. (if you
    remember)



    You should have a three digit number

    The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many
    Times you want to have a beer each week).

    The next two numbers are your age - you old git!

    Confused? It's time you stopped thinking about beer.

    Regards
