Beer Challenge Comes to an End
It’s day seven and I rolled into the BrandCulture office today to catch up with my favorite branding group. About an hour ago, Tasch asked me what this beer challenge was all about. Having been asked the same question many times before, I simply explained that I have switched the entire liquid portion of my diet to beer. No water, no soda, no vodka or whisky; just beer. KP looked up at me and rattled off a dozen potential side-effects of being dehydrated, all of which I was able to easily dismiss. Then she said kidney stones.
I have never had a kidney stone and I would very much like to never be in a position to experience that little gem of a condition. Some kidney stones are jagged and can even get as large as a golf ball. Just think about that. If you are a man and you have not yet crossed your own legs in instinctual fear, you probably should have. No way is any amount of delicious cold beer worth passing a golf ball sized rock.
Thanks to KP and Tasch, I am immediately declaring an end to this challenge and spending the rest of the evening hydrating myself, as quickly as possible. In a weird sort of way, it will be nice to have a glass of water again.

I’m glad thats over Jeff….and you know how much I enjoy wine but I drink water all day long.
love you,
Aunt Marge is very happy,she was a bit concerned.I wouldn’t have wanted you to have suffered with a golf ball size stone but probably would have shared a giggle or two with your mom over something less painful.Our sense of humor a little bit darker than some.Sandra may deny this.
Glad you are back on a safe /fully hydrated diet.

Now I’d like you to try something really challenging – become a vegetarian for a month. Hugs, Steven
I’m very disappointed in you.
Hi Jeff, I’ve really enjoyed reading about your beer challenge, I certainly hope you didn’t consume so much that you couldn’t relax with a beer now. As for the kidney stone thing, my dear mother in law had one just before Christmas. What a Christmas present that turned out to be…no thank you.
Too much of a good thing and all that eh?
All the best,
