Loving the Beer Chugging Congressdude
The recent so-called beer summit had a lot of people talking about beer in public. This is really kind of unusual in the US where we love beer but we’re supposed to be a bit ashamed of it. Whenever we do talk about beer in public we are required to make nervous little jokes about it, use words like “suds” and make little self deprecating quips that prove we’re cool with it.
Bollocks!
With that I’d like to say that I’m now a fan of Representative Jared Polis. I don’t know a lot about the congressman; I’d never heard of him before seeing this clip. But I like the casual way he accepted doing a beer bong on camera. Sure it’s a little juvenile to funnel a beer but you have to appreciate the way he just rolled with it. He’s clearly comfortable with beer and doesn’t need to consult a focus group before drinking one in public. Bravo, Jared!
