Most of us don't usually think of beer as an earth-friendly alternative to improving our gardens and lawns or dealing with a host of pests. However, if you can bring yourself to part ways with your favorite brew, or at least invest in some of the cheap stuff, you'll be surprised by beer's many uses.
1. Trap slugs and snails: Place dishes or jars of beer around your garden, especially in the evening. In the morning, the slimy critters, which have been drawn by the beer's aroma/fermentation, will have drowned. The beer can be re-used until it evaporates for garden pest control.
2. Trap fruit flies: If you keep a compost pail in your kitchen, you will also likely have fruit flies. Just place a jar or can of beer on the kitchen counter. Cover the top with plastic wrap or paper, leaving a small opening for the flies to get into. The fruit flies won't be able to get back out.

I water my garden with beer. I drink it first. It’s earth-friendly.
If you notice that the lawn is green over Teddy Kennedy's grave . . .
Other than turning ugly women into Victoria Secret models, there’s more?

LMAO! Lemme buy you a beer! :)
Around Chesapeake Bay country we put some beer in with our steamed crabs.

Haha, watch out for snakes. I’ve got a story about a man, a flower bed whizzz and a snakebite.
I'd like to water every Obama sticker I see. ;-)

Not sure if this qualifies as a “household” use, but back in the 60’s when I was in college...lots of girls I knew used to wash their hair in beer...it was supposedly healthy for the hair. Is thta still done?
Hopefully I'll live long enough to make the Grand Tour; Carter, Reid, Pelosi, Teddy, Rostenkowski, LBJ, FDR, etc.

I don’t recommend the beer trap method. Yes,,,they do drown,, but they’re gonna keep you up all damn night first with the loud talking and singing.
..and the fighting...once they get drunk its a real slug-fest!
