Why is it that when I meet my co-workers after work for a drink I get a buzz off just one beer, but on weekends it takes me a six pack before I feel the effect?

Do you have a copy machine at work? The carbon molecules emitted by the toner cartridge greatly amplify the malt/hopps interaction in beer, accelerating your body’s ability to absorb alcohol. In fact, if you’d like to go whole hog on this, soak a copy machine toner cartridge in a pitcher of beer overnight. It won’t affect the cartridge much, but the beer will be transformed into a jet black brew that’ll have you buzzing for months. Of course, beer manufacturers would rather keep you in the dark about this exciting discovery and your employer would probably rather I keep mum as well. But that’s not my problem, is it?
