I have, for the vast majority of my life, used the term "beers" when describing the upcoming event of imbibing more than one of the those bubbly beauties.  However, of late, a good friend of mine has been correcting me, relating the similarity of the word beer to the cute little woodland creature deer?  I can’t say as I know for certain which one, if not both of us, is right.  Can someone give me the conclusive, undisputable truth of the matter?

beer = 1 beer

beers = 2 or more beers

Check out definition 3 of beer in the American Heritage Dictionary.

You can "go out for beer," but that usually means you are coming back with some quantity for everyone who drinking.

A beer run, much unlike a deer run!

You can "go out for a couple of beers" with the guys, which means "don’t wait up, honey!"

However:

"Go out for beers," sounds like a novice.  One should always underestimate with "a few" or "a couple of."

But:

"Go out for a few beer*" is grammatically wrong, just like
"Have a couple of beer.*"

The plural of "beer" is "beers!"

Quite right! "una servasa, por favor(sic)"

Katy

"una servasa, por favor(sic)"

Nonetheless, Katy, was that meant to be a [sic] or a [hic]?

If you can count the empty cans or bottles, it’s beers (e.g., we had a couple of beers). If you’re referring to an amount, it’s beer (e.g., we drank a lot of beer).

One deer/two deer has nothing to do with one beer/some beer.

One deer/two deer has nothing to do with one beer/some beer.
wrong. in my head.
when I go out for beer, and bag one, the next beer is just another. you’re right, I don’t mount them. I’m no douche. They are not live, they are in a can.

You are right not to confuse deer with beer, they are creatures of a different elk, and prefer to mount each other.  Cheers !
