Interesting Beer Rules

[Skyliber 0]

So, now that I've been cleared to solo status before I get my Class A, I find out all the silly and funny things and of course the beer rules. If you across certain lines at the airport, if you use a reserve, if you land miles away, and etc...

This is the questions, what are some of the crazier beer rules you've heard?

I know they are only saying it for free beer, and it's not law. I just curious what other people have come up with.

Tons of them here.
Edited to add...

I've never minded paying the beer fine - even though I don't drink beer and had to find out what's considered a "decent" beer. It is a time to celebrate an accomplishment, to hear stories of "when I ....," a time to share and make friends.

Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

I don't know if you've seen the rules yet or not....

Everything else is either:
- All in fun
- Cheap bastards squeezing beer out of newbies

It is on my dropzone.

I like it, This is a way that you meet and make many new friends. It is a very social rule and usually means everyone is going to sit down at the end of the day and have a beer or soda together.

BTW, you sure have alot of interests.

Next time I'm going over, I was planning to beer a lot of beer, even before it was mentioned. A nice way to say thanks for showing me the ropes, you know.

As for the interest, i like a lot of stuff and am curious about others. i editted it down from a huge list. i have a blog/journals/myspace crap that i just add to.

I was mainly curious of the funnier rules as opposed to the first this and first that. just wanted to humor myself really. i'm a dork like that.

I've never minded paying the beer fine -

In my limited experience, the people in charge at the DZ try to make sure the beer fines rotate appropriately. There is usually always beer, but it's not the same people buying it every week.

If you live in a theocracy that is cursed with 3.2% beer (aka low-point beer), almost any full-strength beer (5% or more) is a good choice - especially if it's not readily available locally and you have to smuggle it in from a neighboring democracy. But given equal strength beer, there are lots of opinions on what's "decent". It occurs to me that "preferred beer brand(s)" should be another data point for the dropzone listings on this site, right along with the jump ticket prices and aircraft types.

A beer strategy I have developed at a smaller dropzone in a theocracy where you can only buy 3.2% beer on Sunday: Bring full-strength beer when you come out on Saturday, but keep the cooler in the trunk Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon, when everyone realizes they drank all their beer on Saturday and is starting to panic at the prospect of drinking 3.2% beer or going dry, mention that you've still got some real beer in your cooler. You will instantly become the most popular person at the dropzone. :)

Nothing says it has to be beer - I brought wine more commonly. I find it more social to share a bottle or two of vino than a 12 pack of 3.2 beer. Pizza can work as well - if you're contributing, it's your call.

And you can always ask manifest for a preferred beer if you want to be tradional.
