If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year go, it would
now be worth$49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16. 50 left of the original $1000.00.

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank
all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling REFUND,
you would have had $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle.
It's called the 401-Keg Plan.

That's a pretty hefty deposit on the cans!

Thats part of living in Califronia. It used to be, just collect the cans and bottles and turn them in for money. Now that the state got its grubby hands involved, they charge us a CRV fee, .047 cents per can. When you turn in the cans you only get .020 cents per can, bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oregon 5 cents a can

1000 bucks in cheap beer would be around 83 cases
83 cases equals
1992 cans
1992 x .05 = $99.60

so unless you live in michigan where its 10 cents a can you cant reach 200 bucks on 1000.00 investment of beer

Was in the supermarket not too long ago and saw a guy with three grocery cartloads of beer bottles; that must've been some party...
