"Drink beer, save water." This is one of those one liners I often find on T shirts worn by the yuppies in the city. My sadistic self can not let it pass. Hence this post. Most of you might already know that to make a litre of beer, the beer manufacturer uses 4.5- 15 liters of water. The water goes into washing used beer bottles, cleaning, and processing. So even if you would like to believe/ flaunt otherwise, you are NOT saving water when you are drinking beer. You are WASTING a lot of water. Ha, some relief. Nothing against beer here.
PS: Beer addicts do not despair. Here is some inside information for you: United Breweries (Mallya's company) is going to launch Kingfisher Red (already launched in Punjab) in South India this monsoon. Its an all season beer. Meaning-- it can be consumed without chilling. Meaning-- winter, spring, summer or monsoons, you will have beer which does not taste bad if served "not chilled". Which means, beer lovers will now be drinking 365 days a year, on the road, on the roof, on hilltops and in remote villages where there is no electricity or money. Now I know why the King of Good Times (Mallya) bought the old monk's (Gandhi's) slippers and glasses. He is literally a Gandhian! Like the mobile phone operators are. They are all Gandhians who believe India is in villages. Eureka!
PPS: I hope you all know what Gandhiji's views on drinking were.
