Schadenfreude and beer

From the Washington Post, Sunday 28 September, p. A3:

While New York City has

enjoyed the fruits of Wall Street's decade of dizzying success <...> for many, who didn't share in the spoils, there is a certain sense of schadenfreude — enjoying the new misery of the formerly wealthy.
<..>
"It's going to take their breath away, because they're going to have to deal with the reality that all the rest of us do. I think there's going to be a lot of people on the therapist's couch — a very typical New York thing. People are going to start drinking a lot."

Schadenfreude indeed. Sometimes it is about the beer.
