Me at 21 vs Beer Lover

Me at 21 vs. Me once I discovered delicious slow cooked meats and beer, lots of beer, like a shit-ton of beer.

The meme contrasts a young, muscular Russell Crowe in Gladiator armor with an older, bearded Russell Crowe wearing sunglasses and a polo shirt. The joke is that discovering slow-cooked meat and drinking lots of beer transforms someone from a fit young man into a relaxed, heavyset middle-aged beer enthusiast. It is used as a self-deprecating reaction to aging, indulgence, and losing one’s youthful physique.
