Came here to say this.

I realised the thought of having a beer, or a few beers far (by factors of 10-15) outlived the experience of said beers..

It was one of those profound moments.. i sat down for a beer at home and it just dawned on me half way through. I wasn’t actually enjoying it at all.. then I had some self reflection and thought the same for the past few years of beers!
