The Multifunctionality of Beer
What uses or functions does beer have? Let us make a list, shall we? I'll start from what I think true...
How about beer bottles?
- beverage
- food
- distractor
- painkiller
- bad sleeping potion
- cleaning liquid
- improver of hair?
- vision distorter (example: make women look better)
Well, that's about all I can think of for this right now, heheheh
- stabbing weapon (if broken)
- throwing weapon (if whole)
Correct and/or add your findings.

Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.
Emotion: you have it or it has you.

Muscle relaxant, as in a beer after a hard day chopping wood. Not exactly a painkiller, but sometimes pretty close to that...
Conversation improver. As in when you and a few buddies sample a beer that you have never had before, an exotic beer, or a beer with a reputation that must be "thoroughly analyzed."
College story enhancer. Many of my friend's college stories are kind of lame, but that one about waking up outside and jumping over a fence because the cops were coming stands out among the rest.
Foreign language skill multiplier. As in I went to Germany not knowing the language and beer helped me build up some confidence in the language once I did finally start to learn a bit of German.
That's all I've got for now.

Apart from the somewhat nutritional aspects, most of these are effects of alcohol I'd say.
"Muscle relaxant" sounds like a result of becoming numb to me, apart from that alcohol also reduces muscle tissue which is why body builders often don't drink (a lot).
You may also want to add dehydration to the list, another effect of alcohol, usually responsible for the headache.

Well Husar I find that drinking a beer after hard work tends to relax muscles and reduce soreness related to working, and I don't mean a case of beer or anything extreme like that...Originally Posted by Husar

And I thought of another effect!

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
