10 Ways Beer Will Make Your Life Better

Add a cup of rock salt to a bucket of ice to cool down your beer bottles and cans quickly. The salt melts the ice into freezing water, which transfers that energy to chill your beer faster than just using ice by itself. Science!

Wrap your beer in two damp paper towels and pop it in the freezer. The beer will be ice cold in under ten minutes. Pro Tip: Set a timer so you remember to remove the beer (otherwise it might explode in the freezer!).

Turns out — slugs like beer, too! Fill a small jar with beer, and plant it in your garden flush with the ground. The slugs will investigate the sweet scent of beer, fall into the jar, and not be able to escape. What a way to go…

Use a little beer to put the shine back into your real gold earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Pour flat beer onto a soft cloth and rub in small circles. Wipe off the beer with a dry cloth to reveal your rejuvenated jewelry. Note: This hack only works with real gold, and it will tarnish gemstones and silver.
