Consider beer is made from grain, barley, and hops, it makes me wonder what he has been drinking.
When I was in college, there was a very popular class "Adult Beverage Lab", that was held at an off campus location, very late at night, usually lasting until about 2AM-3AM.
There was a long "lab bench" and some overflow tables, and often some standing room only. We would sample and discuss various beverages, and often comment on the ingredients we taste. There was one ingredient that was often noticed in locally produced beverages sold by the keg, that we referred to as "piss". Once one student detected that taste, the others would often nod in agreement.
Sometimes there was a "adult beverage economics" lecture where we learned that you don't actually buy these beverages, you only rent them, and every hour or two you would visit a special room in the "lab" to relieve yourself of your earlier "rental" and make room for a new one.
Even then the "green economy" ruled, and those "rental returns" were recycled and put back into kegs the process began all over again.
