| In this war there are no losers!: St. Louis - Beer wholesalers surveyed by Citigroup Smith Barney believe their industry is on the verge of a price war that could last seven months or longer. Analyst Bonnie Herzog said: "The major brewers continue to discount and roll back prices. "We believe a price war is looming and 82% of the wholesalers we surveyed agreed and on average believe a price war could last at least seven months." Read the article even the Canadians are joining the battle! |

| #10 Well that price war won't extend to what I drink. I drink import because I like that kind of beer better. Maybe if the big US brands made beer worth calling beer things would be different. |

| #9 when 6 packs of domestic are close to $5.50 , it's time for a price war, like what the wine makers/grape growers are going into. Demand for beer has dropped recently, I know, because I drink less. Jack Daniels is on my taxes as a dependent, tho' |

| #8 If we make it a world war, then we could reach across the Pond and form an alliance with General Guinness and his Dublin Boozileers. Quotes: "Found on every bottlefront...." "He's the one who turned the Firth of Forth Into the Firth of Froth" |

| #5 As I read the rants of support for this war, I have tears welling in my eyes. We must be resoulute, we must never surrender, and we must accept the task before us with gusto (and maybe pretzels). To bottles and let loose the hops of war! P.S. In a related story Ted Kennedy has resigned from the Senate and enlisted in the Army to participate in this war. |

| #4 This is nothing to joke about. We have no hope of victory only a long, long, extructiatingly endless drawn out fight in the streets war. I stand ready. |

| #3 As they said on FARK, "Drunks and college kids everywhere sent letters to Rumsfield, asking him to extend the war for several months more." I'll drink to that. |
