I think most bacon enthusiasts will eat it till they founder if given a
large enough pile.

I will volunteer for your study.
I'll even provide my own beer. You know, I wish they could make good tasting non-alcohol beer so I could drink it at any time of day.

Yeah: Beer. Pot liquor is good for dunking bread in, but it's not
really "Liquor". Likewise sassafras and sarsaparilla, their drinks and
their faux drinks--not beer.

That said, I love a really good root beer. When I was a kid I had
sarsaparilla drink a couple of times and loved it. Haven't seen it
since.
