Reminds me of the story (I think it was Harlan Ellison) of the not too swift fellow on death row who made a deal with Satan. Satan wouldn't or couldn't stop the execution, but he could make this guy capable of eating forever, so all he had to do was order a last meal that he really really liked, and he'd be able to eat and eat and eat, hopefully until the state gave up on killing him. Then, when the time comes to order, all he can think of is Beans.
An endless bottle of Bud would be like that.
