Beer O'Clock

Description

Provides an easy way to produce a page that will simply tell you whether it is beer o'clock yet or not. Beer o'clock can be configured in the administration settings for the site to suit your particular company/workplace.

This module was collaboratively written by high school students during the Catalyst Academy as a part of the Drupal mentorship. For more details see http://catalyst.net.nz/academy
