Sincerely being derived from "without wax" is apparently a common false etymology. Too bad, as I find it clever allusion. After all one cannot discern the true performance of musical gear with wax in ears!

It is the only way one of my latin teachers taught it lol. I have read other versions but always liked that explanation but it is debatable. Want to argue rostrum as well?

In Germany they are smart enough to have a whole month to celebrate Bier

Yes, and 6 week annual vacations, and many more holiday days per year than the U.S. --shhh! don't tell anyone

My wife's country! She's from Golden.

Ahem. Golden is the home of the Coors factory. Not quite the same as the rest of the Colorado Front Range.

Well, don't be too hard on him. Fort Collins has the Budweiser plant, but it also has its own fair share of craft breweries, of which the most well-known is probably New Belgium. (Fat Tire beer)

In Europe we tend to work for a living
I am now in the south and got 27 days free to use next to 13 national holidays. When i was in the NL it was even better. My kids have a 3 month summer break, read logistical nightmare....

It's not all shine though.
Remember "Prinsjesdag" when the masses are held at gunpoint waving little orange flags when the king passes in his golden carriage?

Uh oh.... I hope this isn’t going to be an increasingly common sight.

True, but the Bud factory is outside of city limits, and is not associated with the town the way Coors is with Golden.

And friends, when you see those Coors ads on TV, the beautiful mountain streams from which it is implied their water comes, those are nowhere near the factory.

Some of us in other parts of the world might tend to work a bit as well and have much less time to relax.

 

[Pietro Cozzi Tinin]

Is that why in some parts of the world the economy is going down the drain?

Well, the water must be good. Breweries locate where good water is available, sometimes in strange places. Budweiser built a large brewery in Newark, NJ, in the 1950s, because Newark has very soft water.
