Thousands of US soldiers depleted all of the beer in Iceland’s capital over the weekend.
More than 6,000 soldiers were in Reykjavik for four days participating in the Trident Juncture 18 — a NATO-led military exercise. After their drills, the troops reportedly visited the city’s downtown bars, where they finished off the entire beer supply.
According to Icelandic magazine Visir, the brewery Ölgerð Egils Skallagrímssonar had to send emergency cases of beer to the bars.

If the walls of the Loftleidir Hotel in Reykjavík could talk what tales they could tell.

That's when he finally sobered up....
Just a few weeks ago, Democrats were telling us that drinking beer was a bad thing.

Forty years ago I was a Mess Sgt in the Army Guard. It was a Supply and Transport Battalion to an Infantry Brigade.
We had 185 men in the Company with some Headquarters Detachment attached to us and my mess hall.
We often ran and provided the NCO club facilities in the field for other companies that wanted to visit as well. It catered to all enlisted on annual training. We used a Transportation company semi truck to haul the beer to summer camp. In 74 we filled it.
We ran out of beer on day 7 and had to take off to a wholesaler and buy more.
As I was the Mess Sgt and was the backdoor source for ice, I never paid for anything in the NCO club.
“emergency beer” ... has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Break out the morale gear!
It’s no coincidence that “Anchors Aweigh” is the only military anthem that specifically mentions drinking.
Democrats are against a probiotic organic health food drink?? Communists!
EU, UN, and NATO are outraged! How dare US military drink beer on leave? Bet the pub owners are happy campers.
That’s our boys!
Really? Without Googling, what part says that? I've heard it dozens of times, but guess I never paid attention thinking it was the weakest military cadence hymn. Yet I could pretty much recite the Marine Corps hymn lyrics, maybe even much of the Army's hymn lyrics. Also, know the first to the Air Force.
What a pathetic former Sailor. Still, I yam what I yam. Got knot?
“drink to the foam”
Iceland’s entire population is only approx 1/3 million.
