This animated histogram shows the baby boom generation working its way through the general population of the US. As any serious-minded person will observe, once this thirstiest generation has reached the other end of the snake, who will remain to maintain, let along improve, the US standing in the Beer Olympics?

Add to the mix new evidence that the Canadians are grossly underreporting their consumption of fermented barley malt beverages. It isn't purely coincidental, for example, that a certain Ontario Land Surveyor who posts here (and who we'll call Kered Maharg for the sake of confidentiality) has mentioned on numerous occasions quaffing a "frothy pint of 'milk'." It can only be explained as a part of an organized deception plan.

Well, the beer-drinkingest generation in the US just can't keep still.

It's an animated gif image.
The official format if GIF89a.
Netscape added the animation extension to GIF89 which was originally developed by Compuserve in 1987.

your welcome Ms. Harness 🙂

The only reason I happend to know all that is because when I was a programmer toolkit developer, I happened to be the one that implmented full support for GIF animations. I did a bunch of other stuff for full GIF support as well but unless you have at least a Masters degree specializing in digital image processing you all would be clueless. I've probably forgotten most of those features by now anyhow.
I've slept and drank quite a bit since then. 🙂
