Savvy Saturday Post #12

Since this weekend is widely known to be very popular with the beer connoisseurs of the country, I thought I would share some helpful tips involving the many uses of this patriotic libation.
First of all, you probably already know about beer being good for hair. You should mix 3 tablespoons of beer in 1/2 cup warm water. Work the solution into your hair and let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off. (This is very unlike the method I used as a teenager which consisted of pouring a beer over my hair while in the shower).
Beer also makes a good meat tenderizer. Pour a can of beer over your meat and let it soak for about an hour before cooking.
Do you have any coffee or tea stains on the rug? You can lift that stain right out by pouring beer on it, then rub lightly and the stain should disappear. (Makes you wonder how you get beer stains out of the rug).
And this is my favorite...some garden pests such as slugs and snails find beer irresistible, like some people. If you are having trouble with these slimy critters (the snails, not the people), bury a container (such as a juice container cut in half lengthwise) in the area where these pests frequent. Pour in half a can of leftover warm beer, and leave it overnight. In the morning you will find a new collection of these critters all drunk and drowned.

As a beer connoisseur, I find this a total waste of good beer. That means if I employ any of the above recommendations I will have to use "bad" beer. :-)

Does "lite" beer have the same results? :-)
