Did you know that the 80th birthday of the repeal of prohibition in 1933 was December 8th? We have celebrated with beer ever since. It's the great relaxer, the party starter and the reason you woke up next to your sisters best friend. Who will now tell everyone she was with you except you sister, who will find out from a random girl she doesn't like.

Here are the top reasons why drinking beer is awesome instead:

1. Because you had a good day.

2. Because you had a bad day.

3. Although the Mayo Clinic reads this, “it’s possible that red wine isn’t any better than beer, white wine or liquor for heart health,” it seems like it is a healthy choice in moderation!

4. It’s called a social lubricant for a reason. Drinking makes you friends.

5. Drinking games! OBVIOUSLY!

6. Because alcohol has been there for you during the tough times.

7.  Because drinking can help resolve political and cultural disputes. Exhibit A: Obama’s beer summit.

8. Because facing the dating scene anything but sober sounds like a terrifically bad idea.

9. Because your OKCupid date definitely doesn’t look like the picture. Goggle time.

10. Because the kids are fighting over Pokémon or SpongeBob SquarePants and Mommy needs her “juice.” (personally, my vote is for Sesame Street. but I'm old.)
