In the case of my family, it IS a bad thing.
You're not a nasty drunk.

Mail it to her. Just take the keg out first.

We had a setup like that at the San Diego Cook-Ins of 97 and 98. We had kegs
from a local brewer (I think we had Arrogant ******* Ale in 98). Most
excellent use for old refrigerators!

A keg lasts less than 24 hours after it has been tapped.

That's only if you use an air pump tap. If you use a CO2 tap, kegged
beer will keep for months (if it lasts that long.)

******** !
Having brewed quite a variety of beer at home, I can say that quite a
few kinds do improve in the bottle for the first few weeks. Also, If
you're trying to say that Bud, Guinness, and Fuller's ESB all taste the
same from a bottle, then your taste buds are dead. Your loss. BTW,
technically speaking, the brew phase occurs BEFORE fermentation, so
drinking freshly brewed beer would be synonymous with drinking
non-alcoholic beer. After brewing, the yeast(s) are added, and the
fermentation process takes a bit of time. Drinking beer during this
period would be nasty (low alcohol, still too much sugar, and very
yeasty flavor, as the yeast is still alive and working magic.) Some
beers even finish fermenting in the bottle, so they aren't even
finished until they have spent a bit of time in the bottle.

People who drink light "beer" don't like the taste of beer; they just
like to pee a lot.

About 10 years ago I went through a series of these tests. As someone who is
bi-polar it was interesting to see how my emotional range changed my
"intelligence". I took tests when I was depressed, stable, and slightly
manic. Being manic helps! I scored between 142 and 150+. The psychologists
estimated that I was normally around 146-150. Being manic makes these tests
easier - but not worth it. <sigh> The worst I ever scored was 30 years ago,
before I was diagnosed, when I was depressed to the point of being suicidal.
My University made me take a bunch of tests including almost everything
available at the time. They concluded that my "IQ was 136, my aptitude was
to be a baker, and I was a screw-up. They got the screw-up part right.

With soda/pop, I will take a piece of saran wrap, fold it twice, wrap it
over the top & then secure with a tight rubber band around the 'rim'
The rubber band needs to be not too large/wide & will probably need to
be wrapped around a couple times.
Takes some practice to get tight, but it works pretty well.

I tried black beans with leftover Sierra Nevada Pale Ale last weekend.
Spices were half a cinnamon stick and a couple cloves. The results
were at least promising enough to play around with this some more.

So, thanks for the suggestion!

You betcha! I'm taking over the world, one person at a time. <EG>

Seriously, I'm glad you liked it. I'll have to give black beans a try with
the beer, too. I love black beans.
