Bugs N' Barrels
When the bugs in the bottom of a barrel of mash
consume all of the sugar and puke out all of that alcohol,
their civilization dies;
not because they consumed too much sugar
or puked up too much alcohol,
but because they multiplied far beyond
the ability of the barrel to sustain them.
Finding another barrel
doesn't solve anything.
