All I can say is, it pays to drink 100 beers in a year. We were at the Tour Finisher’s party for the Winking Lizard Tavern and won the 50/50 raffle. I have to say, that probably didn’t recoup the cost of the beers it took to get there.
Here’s an article they wrote about us:

Books and beer: The Cleveland Scholarship Programs, which provides college scholarships for Cleveland Schools grads, got a bonus last week from local beer drinkers.
The Winking Lizard’s party for patrons who had completed the restaurant’s 2009 World Tour of Beers (you must drink 100 different beers and have a “passport” stamped for each one) featured a 50-50 raffle. Half the money was to benefit the scholarship program, the other half to the winner of the drawing.
When WMJI Radio personality Jimmy Malone, a Cleveland Scholarship Programs board member, drew the winning ticket, four Case Western Reserve University students went crazy. They’d pooled their money for the raffle.
Erica Paszkowski, a senior in chemical engineering; Sarah Sewart, a senior studying biology and music; Nick Sinclair, a senior in chemical engineering, and Omri Shiv, a masters student in operations research of management told Malone and sidekick Chip Kullik that they planned to use the money for books, which sounded perfect for a raffle meant to further the education of young people.
Then again, they were college kids at a party celebrating a prodigious commitment to drinking beer. Somehow, we don’t think all the money is going toward books.
