WALKING AND BEER

[Blazin]

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.

[Lt.Del]

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.

Well since I do at least 6 miles a day and a case of beer a week what does that give me?

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   

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.

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.

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.

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).

I have WAY too much time on my hands

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...

[Bowtie Bomber]

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.

[Lt.Del]

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.
