Many may just have never tried hard enough. In their dreams almost all 
people do though.

Yesterday I did a bike ride with the guys. Very hot weather and half way 
through the ride I had this image in my head of a large stein of 
Pilsener, with foam and with the condensation water dripping down the 
outside of the glass. It gave me a lot of extra punch to get to the 
brewpub faster.

Often Dan or Kate already start pouring a Pilsener when they see me 
rolling up on the road bike.
