@blechpirat He earns beer credits for not drinking at home that he can use for drinking at the pub. 🙄
@anne_twain @blechpirat He can also buy beer credits from his teetotal neighbour for better cyclical demand management (hot days, bbq nite, unforeseeable party-with-the-lads events at the local pub (aka 2-4-1 Tuesdays))

@blechpirat I guess @thejuicemedia would like to have a look at it.
If they aren't the source themselves.
@blechpirat he also needs dark beer for "work" now, and light beer makes him feel unsafe.

@blechpirat It's from The Shovel, an Australian satirical newspaper like The Onion.

@blechpirat @littlefox ok first it was funny and then it was "huh wait"
@blechpirat I love it, though IMO the story would have been a bit more subtle and therefore more entertaining without the last pagagraph. 😆
@blechpirat "Note from the Editor: Greg has followed up by clarifying that his friends can also chip in $2 per round to pay for additional drinking credits."
@blechpirat I remember this one. I think it is very good.

@blechpirat By weird coincidence, the source was just linked to by another Masto-friend on my timeline....
