Water

A doctor sternly warned a patient:
Look here, if you hope to survive 
to a good health old age, you must 
stop drinking beer now and start 
drinking water. And so he did
but complained bitterly that it
had none of beer’s characteristics
that made drinking it such a pleasure,
notably its lack of alcohol, and that 
no matter how much and how often 
he drank it (and it was considerable), 
he never felt so much of a buzz 
and what he missed most was his
customary morning hangover.
