Can't I just fucking enjoy my beer without some meathead approaching me and challenging me to scull it? Heaven forbid someone should actually drink beer for the taste rather than to get shitfaced as fast as possible. And when the All Blacks lose a game, wives flee their husbands because domestic abuse peaks.
