During apocalyptic floods people turn to a higher power–beer (30 Photos)

Give me beer or give me death!

oh the south…how are you not your own country

I don't know about you guys, but I've never experienced a beer abandoning me to the elements.

Oh well, as long as the beer is safe…

already stocked up for the flood in fargo

bloody aussies

I grew up and lived in a town that got hit by an EF5 tornado, and being able to drink a few beers and laugh with some good friends made it so much easier to deal with all the cleaning up so much easier.

And not a single fuck was given that day

they've got their priorities straight

you can pee where you drink

This is why i love Australians, always a silver lining.

Holy shit. Amazing gallery.

Reminds me of the 4X commercials in the 90s – "Australians wouldn't give a XXXX for anything else"

#4 leave the kids, save the kegs!!!
#20 just chillin', floating down the street, having a beer. life can be sweet if you know how to live it

#25 And a dentist dude

#20 Thug Life

It's easy to make fun but beer's actually a pretty safe bet in a disaster situation. It's clean, it's portable, it's got carbohydrates and protein for energy. And it's got alcohol, which when your house is underwater, can be a nice stress reliever.

#2 why do Queenslanders call their beer XXXX?… Because they can't spell Beer! Ha! I guess you have to be Australian to get it.

Any other Aussies notice that #19 is Kirks Soft Drink, not beer. Oh you Americans

#3 … Rules for Bridesmaids …

1. Must be one fat one to make the bride and the other bridesmaids look thinner.

2. Bridesmaids must wear their hair up even though they are far more attractive with it down. This is so the one bridesmaid with short hair won't look too butch.

number 19 isn't beer. it's kirks creaming soda and lemonade and pasito. possibly just that he's got a beer singlet on… but still not the same thing

these people are all extremely intelligent, beer is always safe to drink. The water in these cases probably isn't. If you are white, is probably the only reason you are alive.

When we had our flood in Cedar Rapids, everyone was drinking watching the water rise

I've seen #6 forever it seems like and one thing always kill me. He's a got a tub full of beer and figures "fuck it, let me throw one extra in my back pocket."

#12 vanilla ice, lost in guatemala
