Steve Hales, a professor with the Department of Philosophy at Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania and editor of the upcoming Beer and Philosophy forwarded this prayer - which is most apt, what with the wishes that go along with the upcoming New Year's Eve events and the inevitable remorse that follows:
Our lager,Nice red suspenders, Steve!
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink,
Thy will be drunk,
(I will be drunk),
At home as I am in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us,
and lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers,
For thine is the beer,
The bitter and the lager,
Forever and ever,
Barmen.

Wonderful! I will dedicate what few neurons I have left and commit it to memory.
