Welcome to National Drink Beer Day!
Recognized nationwide among beer enthusiasts,[1][2] National Beer Day is an unofficial holiday in the United Statescelebrated every year on April 7, celebrating the day in 1933, the first day in 13 years,[3] that people could legally buy, sell, and drink beer.
National Beer Day is a celebration of the Cullen–Harrison Act being signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 22, 1933. That law went into effect on April 7 of that year, allowing people to buy, sell and drink beer again as long as it was < 3.2% alcohol-by-weight (4.05% alcohol-by-volume). People across the country responded by gathering outside breweries, some beginning the night before. On that first day, 1.5 million barrels of beer were consumed, inspiring the future holiday.[4] Today, April 7 is recognized as National Beer Day and April 6 is known as New Beer's Eve.[5]

Can Kaleb Regain His Confidence? (PS; Waters)
Kaleb Joseph is Syracuse's returning starter at point guard, but it remains to be seen if Joseph retains the starting job this year.
Joseph started the first 30 games of the 2014-15 season. The only game he didn't start was the season finale at North Carolina State.
But this past summer, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim suggested that Michael Gbinije, a 6-foot-7 senior, could take over as the Orange's starting point guard.
Last season
Joseph's freshman season got off to a solid, if unspectacular, start.
In his first seven games, the young Syracuse point guard averaged 8.5 points, 5.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game. He wasn't taking many threes (2-for-8), but he was hitting the shots he did take (23-for-53 for a .433 percentage from the field).
And those seven games, including the likes of Iowa, California and Michigan — all on the road.
But at the end of that seventh game, Joseph committed two brutal turnovers as Syracuse lost to Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Something happened to Joseph after that. He confidence suffered. He drew the ire (often) of SU coach Jim Boeheim. More errors resulted in less playing time and more criticism and a further drop in confidence.
Over the last 24 games, Joseph averaged 5.1 points, 3.3 assists and 1.6 rebounds. His field goal percentage slumped to 35.1 percent.
This season
Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Joseph figures to play an important role for the Orange.
