        Water freezes, alcohol doesn't.

        Strain the ice out of your American beer, you've got Canadian beer!

        Well, I won't speak for the taste, but at least the alcohol percentage is raised a notch.

            well,
            I have traveled a lot and usually the countries I go to use C anyways. So it just kind of stuck with me.

                        Why not just goto Kelvin as a whole and save everyone (science geeks mostly) from having to convert. Even better ... in Kelvin 0 means 0

                                I am going to have to agree with Grandpa Simpson on this subject. "The metric system is the tool of the devil..." So, I guess the U.S. is one of the few countries that still resists the devil. well at least when it comes to measurements.
