Teal,
Hah! You're obviously a Free-Beer-Rookie. I could write a book on leeching freebies, but then all the students would equal the master - somebody has to buy.
Relatives on my wife's side used to own a large distributorship, but that was like taking candy from a baby - no satisfaction. I almost quit drinking. After they got out of the beer business the joy returned. There's nothing like sitting in the hot sun drinkin' somebody else's beer...
