National Beer Day 2018: 8 Quotes Celebrating America's Favorite Beverage
Get those mugs ready and be prepared for a delicious amount of cold refreshing alcoholic beverages—it's National Beer Day!
April 7 marks National Beer Day in the U.S. each year and is celebrated to commemorate the signing of the Cullen-Harrison Act. The law, which went into effect in 1933, made buying, selling and drinking beer and wine legal for the first time since Prohibition in 1920. According to Time Magazine, to celebrate the act, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt reportedly said it was a "good time to have a beer." However, he isn't the only person who has spoken up in favor of the frothy beverage.
Here are eight quotes celebrating the beverage in honor of the special day:

I am looking very healthy and flushed and bright-eyed, having both a good tan and a rather excellent fever." --Sylvia Plath, "The Journals of Sylvia Plath"
5. "I just want to tailgate, drink beer, and hang out in the middle of nowhere in a pickup truck. That's my ideal date."-- Ronda Rousey

7. "I've only been in love with a beer bottle and a mirror."-- Sid Vicious
