They forgot to add that when you drink alot of beer you also get alot of Cummingtonite (Mg,Fe)7Si8O22(OH)2)!?

I just finished a structural geology exam and I'm looking forward to some Kentucky breakfast stout by founders when I get home. Yes. I'm a true geologist. Only bad thing is that beer makes you forget a lot of schist.

Geologists drink beer to make sense of the FUBARITE they've just seen in the field.
And also to attempt to watch some thrusting through serious dyke action!

@truthspeaker20 some geologists do that too! though only out in the field (unless agu is held in amsterdam)

They probably drink because the conference is so boring? That's my opinion. Although the free beer is making me want to change my major a bit right now.
