Outliers...

Do you consider yourself to be a beer connoiseur? In the book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell claims that to be a true expert in anything you need 10,000 hours of experience... so lets say that on average (and for convenience sake) it takes an hour to drink a beer. If we assume that the average American drinks 200 beers a year that means it would take 50 years to become an expert. Gotta say that it wont do me much good to become an expert when I'm 71. So because my goal is to become an expert by 30, I'm going to drink a whole helluva lot of Stone craft beers because, well, that aint a bad place to start.
