and the winner's prize... the woman's weight in beer

People wearing coats and able to see their breath in July is odd enough - the contest looks like a hoot!

Wins weight in real beer? Not American mass produced swill?
I'm making my holiday plans for next year. Our training begins today. I'm doing deep squats and ab workouts. Susan begins her new all pasta and pork diet.

Ranger panthersix,

Correct me if I'm wrong but with a Thai wife I'm thinking they are lighter in weight, wouldn't that then be less beer as a prize :? Jenny

I don't drink so the booze would be for her :)

well, there is that carbonated novelty beverage some people can stomach called "light beer"...
