Likewise. One fought against the Soviets, the other against the Japanese.
It would be like watching one of those [Lad Bible](https://youtu.be/uSTdUqgIdyk?si=Rc62aZ-MDRhF7MSU) videos IRL
I second this, for both of them. I knew them well but only in the sense of them being my grandfathers. We never got the chance to interact as grown men.
I lost someone to suicide not long ago. He posted on Reddit saying his kids were the only thing holding him back from doing it, this was maybe a week before he followed through. I think he went from feeling that way to feeling - wrongly - that they'd be better off without him. It's the only way I can make sense of it. He didn't leave a note.
That was basically my thought process when I attempted.
“Everyone will be better off with me gone” absolutely fucked up and wrong. But I genuinely believed that at the time.
I’m extremely lucky and grateful now. Years of therapy have also made the world of a difference for me.
I’d choose that one guys dead wife
But fr I’d probably choose my dad. He’s alive and I’ve never been around him much, sometimes I wonder if he even has a son
Might sounds weird, but Chester Bennington. He is a huge musical inspiration for me and his life story is very similar to my own and would like to just talk about life
Knew I couldn’t be alone in thinking of Bourdain. The beer would preferably be ice cold, served in a dive bar with a ton of regulars. The type of place Tony thrived in.
"Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming. Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals?"
Daniel Boone my 7th great Uncle. He was an extremely interesting person who became an American Legend. The Legend and the real person vary quite a bit. His actual life and verified documented events were quite often more fantastic than you could imagine.
Hitler, so I could prove to his fan boys he really dies and isn’t hiding in Argentina. And then I’d enjoy my beer get up and piss on his body. Seems like a fun night.
I think Samual Clemmens and Benjamin Franklin. Both full of bullshit and wit. They would be a hoot to hang out with. It would be an evening full of dark beer and white lies LOL.
Twain is a really, really good pick. Franklin I think would get annoying. Don't get me wrong, man's incredible, but I definitely think he'd be "that guy"
My dad. He passed away 10 years ago when I was 24. Would be nice to chat about father stuff now that I’m a dad myself.
Cliche answer maybe but I’d much rather have a deep talk with a loved one than a high level talk with someone famous.
Cheers to all the dads and happy Father’s Day.
Not sure I'd enjoy that as much as having him narrate me having a beer with someone.
*We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. As for Andy - he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beer.*
My grandfather, I would love to talk to him again, tell him all that's happened in the world of sports these last 6 years. And he never drank so I get two beers
Probably my uncle we lost to suicide. I know he died thinking he was a burden on all of us. And that we didn't love him.
Would love a chance to sit his ass down and chew him out about how much we loved him and missed him. How total strangers we'd never met showed up begging for some of his ashes because he meant so much to them.
How his landlord offered him a plot in their family cemetery because he considered him family. How some of his nieces and nephews had his ashes tattooed into them so he'd always be with them.
Talk about how I still remember the skills he taught me to this day, and how every time dad and I struggle with a project we cuss his name for not being there to help.
Tell him that dad missed him so much he put his favorite hat on a scarecrow...and talks to it when he's struggling to figure something out.
How I still cry when I think about the fact that the two of us did the same.thing. but I got a second chance and he didn't.
... we'd need a few beers.
My grandfather. Never met him bc he died young and my Dad has always told me he is half the man his father was. I would pick his brain and learn about some of his more famous/infamous stories, then tell him he would be proud of the man my Dad became.
Like my 7th great grandpa... son if a bitch was pissed a Prussian officer stole his horse from the farm and went and beat his ass and took it back during the austro-prussian war. He had to flee Bavaria and went to Elsaß literally less than 200 meters from the now german French border. Then the Franco-prussian war started and then they were under the prussians again.. the diary shit was nuts to read
My dad. He’s been dead for a few years now and never got to meet his grandson. I’d love to catch him up, show him some photos and just hug him one more time.
My great great grandpa. He was a field artillery captain for the north during the American civil war and I have his old war journal that I periodically read.
I’ve got questions for the guy and would also love to be able to tell him how things turned out.
My lolo (grandfather).
I grew up seeing him every night with a bottle of cerveza negra (san miguel pale pilsen). It was his ritual. He passed away before I got to share one with him. Its my favorite beer because pf him. I'd imagine knocking back a few ones with him and sharing stories.
Miss you lolo.
Robbin Williams.
guy was my childhood his death wasn't easy on me as my disease can lead to his.
He's got to have a million untold hilarious stories of him goofing around.
Michael Brecker. One of the most advanced and talented tenor sax players ever to walk the planet. I don't think he drank, so he would drink something else.
Other choices might include Michael Crichton, Tony Bourdain and John Coltrane.
I might choose my dad, who's been dead since I was 13, but he was kind of an asshole who had some really terrible ideas about how to raise kids, but probably not.
My wife's grandfather. Never met him, but he was an amazing man and he died 8 years before I met her.
Her entire family has - unsolicited - told me on various occasions we would have gotten along and that there are a lot of similarities between us...this list includes my wife's grandmother, who passed several years ago now as well...so these comments meant something because they came from his wife, his kids - people who knew him extremely well.
As someone who had to look outside his own family for male role models (my Dad tried but still doesn't fully get it), I would have loved to sit down with her grandfather, shoot the shit, and have a beer.
That's hard, since there are a lot of variables that I need to know
1) Would they talk my language?
2) Would they know what happened during their death?
3) Would it be in a crowded place?
4) Would him/her be themselves, or they would act?
5) Would they lie?;
6) What beer? And can the person get drunk?
7) Could we touch each other? (Maybe if like to hit the person,
8) Would anyone else know that I've talked with that person?
8.1) If that person didn't existed, the world would trust it, or try to demonise/glamourise me?
9) Where would we drink?
10) Could I ask ANYTHING?
I could choose from Jesus to Lemmy, from Frida Kahlo to Princess Diana. Damn, even Che Guevara or Hitler (who you thought I would brawl?)
Does it have to be beer? I'm not keen on alcohol. Anyways, probably Hitler. Fucked up, ik, but I just want to ask him "why". See if he really was *that* charismatic. I need to psychoanalyze the man.
Keith David. One of my favorite actors and Voice Actors. I would ask him a bunch of questions (about himself and how he got to where he is now) and sort of guide me into the voice acting industry.
My voice is pretty fucking deep.
Thomas Jefferson. He'd be absolutely shocked at what is going on right now. If I could go back in time I would have to put some thought into what I could tell him about The Constitution to prevent it's slow and inevitable corruption.
Do they go back to their timeline after, or are they recalled from the dead for the beer?
If they go back, probably one of the founding fathers. We could discuss the ramifications of their oversights.
If they just pop into existence for the beer, I'm going with my grandpa. He was a great guy, and I'd love to have a good conversation with him from my adult perspective.
The Coen brothers
I feel like they should count as one person. I would ask so many questions about The Big Lebowski that they would be thoroughly sick of me by the end of their first drink...
I'd go closer to home-Mieszko I. Polish king/prince who Christianized his domain in 966. Very little is known definitely about him or his times and what I found and learned is mighty interesting.
I’d pick whatever Egyptian peasant or whoever first made beer so they can see how far it’s come and thank them.
I’d also freak them the fuck out and convince them in a wizard with my iPhone.
My grandpa.
Both of 'em would be amazing.
Likewise. One fought against the Soviets, the other against the Japanese. It would be like watching one of those [Lad Bible](https://youtu.be/uSTdUqgIdyk?si=Rc62aZ-MDRhF7MSU) videos IRL
I second this, for both of them. I knew them well but only in the sense of them being my grandfathers. We never got the chance to interact as grown men.
Yeah. I really miss mine. Those would be the smallest sips in the history of brewing.
Someone alive
Nah dead people wouldn't be as annoying
A skeleton walks into a bar and orders beer and a mop… ☠️
Drinking contest with teddy Roosevelt
The loser gets butt fucked, wait what
DEAL I mean whaaaaaaat
Teddys about to tear that ass up brother
I’ll be too drunk to notice
Sadly too drunk to enjoy it as well.
By the winner, right?
Being an alcoholic wasn't invented yet at his time, so he was always at least a little drunk I bet
My father. He died by suicide over 20 years ago. I’d ask him why.
I lost someone to suicide not long ago. He posted on Reddit saying his kids were the only thing holding him back from doing it, this was maybe a week before he followed through. I think he went from feeling that way to feeling - wrongly - that they'd be better off without him. It's the only way I can make sense of it. He didn't leave a note.
That was basically my thought process when I attempted. “Everyone will be better off with me gone” absolutely fucked up and wrong. But I genuinely believed that at the time. I’m extremely lucky and grateful now. Years of therapy have also made the world of a difference for me.
My mom who passed away over 10 years ago so I can tell her how awesome her grandkids ended up
This is very sweet. may she rest in peace!
Myself, at the age of maybe 18 or so have shitload of advice to give.
I’m 23, and in need for some advice:)
Look after your body.
Start a 401k or IRA now. Contribute as much as you are comfortable contributing.
*Contribute more than you are comfortable contributing. FTFY
On that note, can I choose to have a drink with my future self to be on the receiving end of said advice?
Man...I feel this.
I'd have a beer with my dad. He's still alive, in good health. Imma hit him up tomorrow and see if he'll take me up on it
Father's Day is this Sunday. Perfect time to have beers with Dad!
I’d choose that one guys dead wife But fr I’d probably choose my dad. He’s alive and I’ve never been around him much, sometimes I wonder if he even has a son
Underrated comment. I also choose that one guys’ dead wife.
I, too, choose that one guy's dead wife
I came into the comments just to see how long it would take to find that guys dead wife. I was not disappointed.
Richard Feynman.
Might sounds weird, but Chester Bennington. He is a huge musical inspiration for me and his life story is very similar to my own and would like to just talk about life
The only answer I've ever given to this question since I was 18. John Candy.
Great choice!
Lemmy
That'd be a Jack and Coke though.
Bourdain
Knew I couldn’t be alone in thinking of Bourdain. The beer would preferably be ice cold, served in a dive bar with a ton of regulars. The type of place Tony thrived in.
Agreed
Now that would be fun.
Exactly. At his oldest. I'd ask advice on how the fuck to decide to just go for what I want to do in life
Ronnie James Dio
Hunter S Thompson
I think it's A beer, something is telling me things would escalate
"Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming. Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals?"
Diogenes the Cynic, Greek philosopher who would probably have some interesting shit to say about the state of the world.
He would probably shit talk you for your clothes and shoes.
Considering his usual behavior, he'd probably jerk one out while y'all drink a beer, steal your food, and leave
Anna Kendrick because she seems fun to hang out with.
my friend, passed away last year . RIP buddy
Anthony Bourdain! I think it would be a blast to get drunk with him, imagine the stories he would tell!
Nikola Tesla.
Jim Morrison. I would really like to know what thoughts crossed his mind every day. I’ve always been fascinated by him.
Daniel Boone my 7th great Uncle. He was an extremely interesting person who became an American Legend. The Legend and the real person vary quite a bit. His actual life and verified documented events were quite often more fantastic than you could imagine.
Hitler, so I could prove to his fan boys he really dies and isn’t hiding in Argentina. And then I’d enjoy my beer get up and piss on his body. Seems like a fun night.
I think Samual Clemmens and Benjamin Franklin. Both full of bullshit and wit. They would be a hoot to hang out with. It would be an evening full of dark beer and white lies LOL.
Twain is a really, really good pick. Franklin I think would get annoying. Don't get me wrong, man's incredible, but I definitely think he'd be "that guy"
John Wayne, Einstein, Mr. Tesla
Teddy Roosevelt
Mr Keith Moon
Teddy Roosevelt. I feel like that guy had some awesome stories.
100% my dad. Miss you.
Jesus
My dad. He passed away 10 years ago when I was 24. Would be nice to chat about father stuff now that I’m a dad myself. Cliche answer maybe but I’d much rather have a deep talk with a loved one than a high level talk with someone famous. Cheers to all the dads and happy Father’s Day.

Putin And....dead.
Morgan Freeman
Not sure I'd enjoy that as much as having him narrate me having a beer with someone. *We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the lords of all creation. As for Andy - he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beer.*
Maradona
Abe Lincoln. I'd tell him that play sucks, let's get a brew
My grandpas, my dad, and the cast of Gunsmoke.
My dad
i also choose your dad
My buddy Steve (RIP) and it would be one of those beers that Dr. Strange gave Thor- they never go empty.
Hunter S Thompson
Active or veteran troops from my home country are my favorite people to have a pint or 10 with
My dad. Damn, i miss him.
My dad, i would say the things i couldn’t when he was dying
Shane Warne and Steve Irwin and probably Chris Cornell to sing us a few songs.
I came here to say Irwin, but miss Cornell dearly too. Great choices.
Paul the Apostle
Good one
Cormac McCarthy. Interesting dude.
Definitely Alan Watts
Bourdain
Chris Farley
Don Rickles
He would roast you for picking him.
Got to be Jesus
***** ******
My grandfather, I would love to talk to him again, tell him all that's happened in the world of sports these last 6 years. And he never drank so I get two beers
Stone Cold Steve Austin... could sit and talk for hours while going through a six-pack
Definitely someone living.
Whoever needed someone to sit with them...
Excluding deceased family members, I’d pick Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. I’d want to spend a whole evening listening to stories.
My Dad. Died 2013.
My dad. He wasn't a drinker, but maybe today's NA options would work.
my dad
My great-grandfather. I'd want him to tell me about all his experiences in WW1 (where he ended up getting killed). If it couldn't be him, then my dad.
My dad
Probably my mom, and she'd be dead
My sister (lost her to cancer 10yrs ago)
Kennedy
My dad so I can talk to him one last time......
My maternal grandpa. I miss him daily
My half brothers half brother who took his life several years ago.
I would have another drinking night with my best friend, he passed about 7 years ago

My mom. Died at 40 when I was 12 and I have so many questions for her at a parent now myself.
My Dad. He died when I was a teenager.
Probably my uncle we lost to suicide. I know he died thinking he was a burden on all of us. And that we didn't love him. Would love a chance to sit his ass down and chew him out about how much we loved him and missed him. How total strangers we'd never met showed up begging for some of his ashes because he meant so much to them.

My mother 🥲
My childhood best friend, who passed away when we were 21 (I'm 44 now).
My dad, he's still alive so can some one kill him before we have our beers?
My dad.
My grandfathers both of them weren't drinkers but they passed before I turned 21 and I'd give almost anything to have one last conversation
Don’t want to be overly sentimental, but my father
Jesus, before he was the christ
I don't like beer, but I would down one for a chance to talk to my main man G Wash anytime. (George Washington)
My father
My grandfather. Never met him bc he died young and my Dad has always told me he is half the man his father was. I would pick his brain and learn about some of his more famous/infamous stories, then tell him he would be proud of the man my Dad became.
My grandfather, he died young, I nearly died young. We have a lot in common and I'd love to spend one night with him at the bar shootin' the shit.
Albert Einstein.
Jesus. I got some questions for him.
My dad.
My great great great great great great great great great great great great grandpa.
Like my 7th great grandpa... son if a bitch was pissed a Prussian officer stole his horse from the farm and went and beat his ass and took it back during the austro-prussian war.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Taken from us too soon.
Jesus
My dad. Would have been his birthday two days ago
Grandpa. I really miss that guy and I could really use him this very second.
My dad. He’s been dead for a few years now and never got to meet his grandson. I’d love to catch him up, show him some photos and just hug him one more time.
My great great grandpa. He was a field artillery captain for the north during the American civil war and I have his old war journal that I periodically read. I’ve got questions for the guy and would also love to be able to tell him how things turned out.

Mohammad
I see your Magnus Uggla and raise with Thorsten Flinck
My daughter when she's old enough
I don't drink beer anymore but if my dad were alive I'd drink one with him.
Michael Brecker. One of the most advanced and talented tenor sax players ever to walk the planet. I don't think he drank, so he would drink something else.

A line of coke is perfectly fine
Freud!
Myself, more beer for me.
Thomas Jefferson. He'd be absolutely shocked at what is going on right now. If I could go back in time I would have to put some thought into what I could tell him about The Constitution to prevent it's slow and inevitable corruption.
Jefferson was part of the problem. He’s a bib reason the racist south had so much power.
Jesus
Obama
That one guy's dead wife
I also choose that guy’s dead wife
Jose Martí
Someone dead, extra beer for me
Jo Soares Eurico Miranda José Wilker
Do they go back to their timeline after, or are they recalled from the dead for the beer? If they go back, probably one of the founding fathers. We could discuss the ramifications of their oversights. If they just pop into existence for the beer, I'm going with my grandpa. He was a great guy, and I'd love to have a good conversation with him from my adult perspective.
It be a cup of coffee, but with my father lost him during Covid due to travel restrictions I was unable to be his side when he passed.
The Coen brothers I feel like they should count as one person. I would ask so many questions about The Big Lebowski that they would be thoroughly sick of me by the end of their first drink...
Duncan.
Marlon Brando
This was a question on a secret Santa questionnaire I did 2 years ago. Needless to say, I got a bunch of Paul walker stuff that year.
I'd go closer to home-Mieszko I. Polish king/prince who Christianized his domain in 966. Very little is known definitely about him or his times and what I found and learned is mighty interesting.
The first person who had the idea of how to take an ingredient, and turn it into beer to get drunk. I’d like to show him how far his idea had come.
Prigozhin
Duncan - i would love to have a beer with duncan because Duncan's me mate.
Dead: My Dad Alive: Patrick Stewart
marcellus aurelius
Me at 8. Theres a lot of shit little bro needs to be prepared for…
Walt Disney
I’d pick whatever Egyptian peasant or whoever first made beer so they can see how far it’s come and thank them. I’d also freak them the fuck out and convince them in a wizard with my iPhone.
Alexander Hamilton. Pick his mind a bit.
Alone
My grandpa for sure. I’d love to hear those stories he told one more time.
It would be someone alive. Having a beer with someone dead at the table would be a bummer.
