YES! The more you enjoy your beer, the more you forget about time.

Someone will ask how long that job took, the answer is 6 beers. Cleaning and putting away tools, and sweeping the floor was another 3 beers. Then I ordered pizza, and had 3 more beers. By then I had forgotten about time, and that made for a successful day
