Drinking vs reading

Signs that beer has become more important in your (my) life than books.

1. You have a "to be drunk"  pile that goes down faster than your "to be read" pile. It also gets replenished more quickly and with more enthusiasm.

2. You start ordering beer online and get excited when parcels of beer appear on your doorstep.

3. You go to bed with a beer. (I'm not that bad, yet)

4. You read beer reviews on the internet.

5. You have an app for logging and reviewing what you drink.

6. You work your way through all the different beers from your favourite brewery.

7. You judge a beer by its label.

8. You photograph your beer and then you instagram it. 
 8a. you realise it's not just you that has a problem when your beer photos get more likes than your book photos.

9. You wish they made a movie of your favourite beer.

10. You look forward to attending a beer festival not a book reading.

11. You judge people on what they drink.

12. Your favourite store is no longer the bookstore.

13. You get excited when your local beer seller has new stock in.

14. You follow your favourite brewers on all social media.

15. You pair your beer with your fiction. 

16. When you've finished a beer you can't throw away the empty bottle.

17. You wish there was a way to store beer in your phone and access it through the headphone socket with a straw. (someone, work on that)


18. Sometimes you want to bookmark your beer and come back to it later.

19. You have hops on your socks. In fact, didn't Dr Seuss write a book about beer..no maybe not.

20. You keep your beer where previously you kept your books. Beershelf anyone?

21.Someone cracks open a beer in a movie and you pause play to see what it is they are drinking.

22. You've given up any thoughts of writing a book and started thinking about brewing your own beer.

23 You attend more beer clubs than book clubs.
