Beer rocks every Friday, but today's actually National Drink Beer Day

Today's the day to raise a glass in honor of raising a glass (or a bottle or a can). That's right, it's National Drink Beer Day, a holiday that deserves to bump less alcohol-centric celebrations off the calendar, so beat it Arbor Day, and don't come back till you're carrying a six-pack. Why celebrate beer? Has there ever been a dumber question? Because it's one of the oldest beverages in existence, dating back to the ancient Sumerians, who probably chipped the details of their hangovers into a clay tablet or two. So bottoms up, whether you're into pale ales or porters or — you know what? We'll have one of each. [Source]
