[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 383599, member: 1991"] Good that he pitched in and helped. Sometimes a stranger's words cut a lot deeper than all the long-term nagging from loved ones. I'd be stacking up the discarded beers and putting them in the fridge. If the new beers are in the fridge taking up all the room, they come out to make room for the older stock. ALWAYS rotate stock! Unless these are brands he doesn't like, that he acquired (people 'pay' with beer, here in Australia). In which case he can give them to someone else. Do you use beer as payment for services rendered in the US? It's very much currency here. You turn up to a barbecue and you take a "slab" (a dozen 'tinnies'). Or your mates come round and help build a deck in your backyard - you lay on plenty of beer, your wife cooks a barbecue, and later on you give each of your mates a slap. Or a bottle of his beverage of choice, if it's spirits. It's sort of dollar for dollar in terms of how much it costs, but if your mate has really been there for you, you might give him a bottle of, say, single malt scotch whisky. That can cost a lot more than a slab or two. Interestingly, we don't drink beer in this household except very rarely, after he's mown the lawn in summer, husband might drink one tinnie. Usually though, he will prefer a bottle of cider. I've never tasted beer (hate the smell) and have decided scotch whisky is wasted on me. Even single malt. husband is a scotch drinker, but in extreme moderation. Anyone who knows him doesn't pay him in slabs of beer, but in bottles of blended scotch. But no waste is acceptable here, and I WILL rotate stock if anyone tries to throw stuff out that they shouldn't. I have been known to check the bins and rescue stuff. I usually make the culprit empty the bin - it tends to work as good aversion therapy. Marg [/QUOTE]
