    "The sugar cuts the bitter beer taste and and leaves you with a mellow sweetness that isn't bad drinking.

    While i wont dissagree with these findings, its been my personal expirence that sour skittles do a far better job of cutting that beer flavor...of course for those of us that acutally LIKE beer, this is completely unnecessary.

    From bartleby.com

    Life is not all beer and skittles, i.e. not all eating, drinking, and play; not all pleasure; not all harmony and love.

    "Sport like life, and life like sport,
    Isn't all skittles and beer."

    As others have said, "skittles" is an old game similar to lawn-bowling

    Mat Groening, in his genious, took this expression and showed what happens when Homer takes it literaly.
