today a beer can weighs 14.7 grams  (in 1992 they weighed 16.5 grams)

Bud Select 12 pack $8 (you can buy cheaper stuff but you enjoyment factor will be less)  

$1000 / $8 =  125 12 packs of beer

 12 * 125 = 1500 cans of beer

 14.7 grams x 1500 =  22050 grams = 48.6119 pounds

 Used beer cans are 23 cents per each .47 lbs as of October 15, 2008

 (1/.47) * .23 = 48.9 cents or $.489

So if you bought $1000 worth of beer a year ago and drank it your used aluminum cans would be worth:

$.489  *  48.6119 lbs =  $23.7712191 or $23.77

Money does not equal happiness but it can buy good booze and impress loose women.  But if you drank $1000 worth of beer this year you would have some really good times and that of course is priceless.  Even if you did wake up with a sharpie marked penis drawn on your forehead.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago,
you will have $49.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will
have $33.00 today.
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago,
you will have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all
the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you
will have received a $214.00

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink
heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg. A recent study found that
the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found
that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That
means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!

Makes you proud to be an American.(And even more 'green' to be a
hasher!) lol

Hope to see you guys tomorrow...
