Ben Franklin
“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” There’s no doubt that you’ve seen this quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin on a t-shirt, coaster, bumper sticker, or koozie at some point in your life. Unfortunately, Mr. Franklin never actually said this. He did say something similar, albeit slightly more poetic: “Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine, a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.”
