This one's right up my alley, where do I sign up? If there are no spots left I may start an ATS Beer Drinking Team.
"He's the founder and commissioner of the U.S. Beer Drinking Team, and aims to unite America�s roughly 90 million beer drinkers. And eventually the
global beer-drinking community.
Dennis Buettner is quite serious about this team, a club driven entirely by the Internet and by an idea so advanced it could only have been born at
NASA. That�s where Buettner, 40, works. He helps fly satellites. He was working late at the Greenbelt facility one night when he announced to
co-workers that he loves beer. A lot. He loves beer so much he might as well be captain of the U.S. Beer Drinking Team. In fact, he joked, he was the
captain. No one believed him. They went back to flying satellites.
Buettner and team �trainer� Stew Smith, a former Navy SEAL, are at the team�s world headquarters now, training. HQ is pretty much the dock behind
Buettner�s Severna Park house, and �training� seems to consist of sitting on a lawn chair, talking, sipping beers � very, very slowly. This is
America�s beer-drinking team? Nobody�s doing 12-ounce curls. Nobody�s loading up on carbohydrates. The Latvians are gonna kill us! "
