Sacrilegious?

[Pabs]

Ooh! ... That's a bit tacky, The next worst thing, would be to bleed on your work.

OH PLEASE tell me that OP is not using the beer as a lubricant

I think it is a bit like the drinking and driving debate.

A glass of wine or a beer with a meal may add to the pleasure and is generally harmless. Five pints or with a steak meal, then leap behind the wheel isn't sensible, responsible or legal.

Hobby woodworking - if a beer adds to the enjoyment and pleasure whilst plane wielding - great. A bottle of beer may be a relaxation and stir the creative juices, half a dozen bevvies and sharp or fast rotating machinery is less than clever.

A confession - I may have a beer or glass of wine with a meal, but never drink and woodwork. The risk of dismembered digits clearly has an impact!

Certainly not sacrilegious, the Americans do it quite a bit I think, not in the workshop myself but certainly when it’s in the evening and I’m designing and drawing in the house, helps the creative juices flow.

American "beer" is an insult to the word beer - for the most part it's weak and fizzy - I'm thinking of Bud Light!

Might have been true a while back, but in my experience, America was ahead of us in the micro-brewery revolution.
Agree about Bud light, though

I agree with John Brown. I think they and most of Europe have embraced the micro-brewery concept. But I must agree that Bud, the US version of Budweiser, and most UK lagers are pretty much tasteless. I reckon that's why they have to be served so cold, so you can't taste them. There are some great Euro lagers and pilsners out there but it would be sacrilege to drink them from a bottle.
