A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles per
Year.
Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a
Year.
That means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon.
Kind of makes you proud to be an American.

Amen.
In actuality, since I don't walk much (that is why i have two trucks) and I drink a lot, I probably get 10 gallons to the mile. ;D
-
Well since I do at least 6 miles a day and a case of beer a week what does that give me? :P

OK I'll Bite ;)
6 miles/day * 365 days/year = 2190 miles/year
Then:
24 beers/week * 52 weeks/year = 1248 beers
then assuming 12oz cans:
1248 beers * 12oz = 14976 oz's
Then:
14976 oz's / 128 oz's/gal = 117 gallons/year
So:
2190 miles walked / 117 gallons of beer = 18.7 miles/gallon :P
Now I am assuming that you are drinking a brand of beer that comes 24 to a case, where as, if you change to a brand like Iron City that comes 30 to a case, well, the end result changes - or if you like to drink say.... only 40's then the end result would change - but you get the concept. :D

lol, that's refreshing to know <cracks open a beer>

Heh... makes me want to pop a top right about now, just thinking about that. :D

Yeah, but what about the weight-lifting involved? 12 oz at a time ya know! That's bound to burn a few calories!
Darn Sierra Nevada Pales are hard to put down. ;D

My calculations suggest the "fatigue factor" is negliable because the original problem stipulated a case of beer a week which, if spread out evenly is only 3.4 beers per day - and if the 3.4 beers is spread out evenly throughout the day (assuming a waking time of 16 hours) that is .21 beers per hour (not real hard and very little calories burned). :D
I have WAY too much time on my hands :D

I too have an ICE COLD High Life in my hand... My problem is that my fridge is in my garage where I am and there is no longer any work getting done...
Just spent too much time trying to save inner fenders that weren't worth it! Cold beer is good though <CRACK> Maybe ONE more...
-
For me all I need is an ice cold Dr.Pepper or Coke and I'm set! Other than that I drink Brisk.
But if I calculated my mileage with how much I drink Dr.Pepper.. I'd have to say I get gallons to the mile.

I'm a miller lite guy myself. I have a "beer" fridge that is all mine in my basement. If I am working outside, my 30' camper has a nice fridge full of beer at all times. Sometimes I'll sit in my camper with a beer and crank the 500 watt amp up and listen to a few cd's.
I'm thirsty.

I think that its a requirement for a workin man's garage/shop to have the beer/beverage fridge. Mine has a bottle opener tied to the fridge door handle, for ease of popping that top off. Not to mention its darn handy to be able to open the garage door after a beer run, don't have to haul that case all the way inside the house! :D
