Beer Made Just for Dogs
Every dog owner knows there is nothing more pathetic than watching your dog beg for a sip of your delicious beer. Now, thanks to some forward thinking brewers, you can finally drink with your dog. Australian pet deli and boutique Paws Point, and American brewer Dog Star Brewing Company, have designed beers especially for dogs. Both beers are non-alcoholic, non-carbonated, and infused with meat flavor, making them less than ideal for all but the most troubling family Christmas.
I'm trying to figure out the mental disorder necessary to actually buy this for your dog. Not only do you have to have the dreadfully increasing psychosis that makes people get confused between dogs and humans, but you also have to think this anthropamorphised animal would want to drink beer and not get drunk. Regular non-alcholic beer is for humans with a mental disorder. Even if you accept peoples disorder that makes them think dogs are children, you would have to deal with the secondary disorder that they think their dog is an alcholic that needs something that looks and tastes like beer, but want's to 'protect' them by giving them some that is non-alcholic.
The very case for this stuff is like listening to the logic of the Vizzini from the Princes Bride.
