Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 13, 2023

Maybe Rat will lose some weight when they remove his liver.

Whenever I have an ice cream sundae, I always leave off the cherry.

Go towards the light Rat!

I have never drunk 11 beers in one day. What’s it like?

Hope it’s not Bud Lite.

Health or not. Rat is probably not going to be conscious after all these.

Please…drink responsibly, people.

One time there were twelve.

I never drink lite beer. I don’t see the wisdom in paying the same for something diluted. If I drink beer at all, I like 8% or more. That way, you only need to have one.

Gulden Draak Belgian beer: 10.5% to 12%.

In Heaven there is no beer. /That’s why we drink it here. / And when we are gone from here, / Our friends will be drinking all the beer.

I see a few rest room trips in Rat’s future, you can’t buy beer, only rent it!

You’re pretty light for a rat your age.

Sure Rat will lose weight. After all that beer, his bladder will fall out.

If you can see through it, it is not a proper beer.

Not only health conscious but economical because Bud Lite is on sale because they can’t get rid of it because of an epic fail publicity campaign which is totally ridiculous all the way around? Why did A-B say the latest model is packing a rod and why should it make any difference, anyway?

When I first retired, I had a neighbor who drank Busch Light while splitting fire wood. He had decided it was the idea combination of hydration and “well, this isn’t so bad a task.”

I thought light beer was made with light water.

I like how Goat just gave up trying to say anything here.

No Bud Lite? What’s this world coming to?

Why 11 beers?

Because Rat drinks only the prime brews.

Goat drinks martinis…good choice!

That’s a lot of beer for one little rat.

Rat, even if you drink eleven light beers, that’s not gonna help you lose weight.

That cannot produce a safe blood-alcohol level.

Light beer…ugh ! You are better off drinking water, as it is basically water in a can anyway.

Ah, life today, everything in moderation, except when it comes to common sense!!!

Cut my pizza into 6 slices. I couldn’t possibly eat 8!

As a former bartender of 30 years, I can tell you this is a common phenomenon. Light beer is the fat man’s drink. What I cannot tell you is how many times I’ve seen some morbidly obese guy drinking light, after light, after light. Ya gotta wonder…

LOOK, no foam … barkeep, what a gal.

my husband is an expert – it’s not a good life choice decision

Where’s the humor in this strip? He cut back from the usual dozen beers.

Not Funny, no comment.

My sister is like that, though not with beer. Is Rat also going to sip from a baby spoon to make it seem like there’s less of thos eleven cans?

I don’t think Rat gets the idea.

But it doesn’t matter: “light beer” is just slightly colored and flavored water. Ugh!
