Wikileaks confirmed: A plan to kill American geologist with poison beer

This is just wrong on so many levels.  I know some of you are saying "that is why I don't drink beer" while others are saying "Silly Afgans, you can't learn about beer culture by watching "The Fast and Furious" with that Dom guy"

My opinion, I like beer, almost as much as Pepsi.  However if presented with the situation below I might have laughed and then promptly thrown the bottle out the window.  

The Corona bottle sat on his counter for the next two weeks Yeager says, because Corona is one of his least favorite beers. He finally opened it during a going away party as the other drinks began to run low.

"I pulled it out and when I popped it there was no fizz and the cap was loose," says Yeager. "Because this one didn't have fizz you wonder if it went rancid or not, and I just kind of sniffed it and I went 'Oh, that doesn't smell like beer.' "

Funny thing after reading this I remember a scene in an old James Bond film (Dr. No I believe) where James comes back to his hotel room only to find that someone had been there while he was out.  He seemed to have expected that so went over to fix himself a drink.  As he picked up his bottle of vodka he had a second though, stopped, took a sniff, then recapped the bottle and grabbed a fresh one from another drawer.

The lesson here, watch what you drink and if you do drink buy the booze yourself.  Also (on the flip side) if you are going to poison a drink, take some time and at least research your target and their culture.  At least then the story might reflect that you aren't a total and complete fuxX0ring idiot.
