When it comes to food, beer is its perfect partner. Beer and food seem like a match made in heaven. Beer is a great drink and comes with many antioxidant properties. It has many health benefits, but wine always steals the show in this department. The truth must be told! Beer and wine both have the same amount of antioxidants. Beer also has more amounts of protein and B vitamins in it. A 12-ounce beer serving has 95 – 360 calories. Since you can always drink a smaller serving, you don’t worry about it that much.

Come on Florida...

Honestly, there is no reason for me to even write “Florida” in the title of this article. You see a guy using a gator to shotgun beer while cranking some Skynyrd and it just screams FLORIDA at the top of its fucking sunshine state lungs. I mean, all we’re missing is a little meth and maybe some type of sexual activity in a public place and we’d have a first-ballot Florida Man hall of famer on our hands.

First things first, don’t do this. Don’t use animals, even an alligator that could bite your hand off, for your stupid videos. Then again, me posting it, is exactly why he did it, so maybe I’m part of the problem. Anyways, Brad and Chad over here are apparently on a some sort of a drunken, Lynyrd Skynyrd gator hunt when Chad decides to throw a can in this poor gator’s mouth and and proceed to shotgun a Michelob Ultra like the hardest hardo that’s ever sailed the swamps of Florida.

Naturally, this doofus got roasted in the comments.
“God I want him to get B I T.”

“God I wanted it to bite him so bad.”
​
“Imagine: you’re just a gator chilling in the water when all of a sudden receding hairline Brett, Vice president Of Beta Kappa Bullshit, yanks out of the water so he can send a shit video of himself shotgunning some 4.5% beer to barstoolsports.”

Be better Chad. Be better. And, this tip is for free… you’ll never look cool shotgunning a Michelob Ultra… NEVER.

Of course, with any alcohol consumption, it is important that it is enjoyed in moderation. However, when you drink responsibly, it is great to know that you may also be doing some good for your body while you are having a good time! 

 I know, these "Florida Man" headlines write themselves at times...

A Florida man is facing charges after he was accused of becoming belligerently drunk and giving his 53-year-old girlfriend a “wet willy,” according to court records and reports.

Authorities in St. Lucie County, Florida, arrested Joseph Sireci, 47. His girlfriend said in a victim statement filed in court that she knew Sireci was drunk when he called her at work to demand that she order him a pizza. When she got home, she found him drunk on her living room floor, she said.

In a police report obtained by the Miami Herald, authorities said that later, when the victim and her daughter decided to leave the home for another, Sireci tagged along. In a victim statement, she said he refused to get out of her vehicle and that he became more drunk while at the house.
​
She and Sireci argued over the radio volume on their way back to their shared home, the victim said. During the ride, Sireci wet his finger and stuck it in the victim’s ear, giving her a “wet willy,” the Herald reported.
