The act of receiving a beer from your wife or barmaid/bartender immediately when entering your home or a bar.
If your wife is beer-o-matic, she will have a cold one in your hand before she even utters a word.
If a barmaid/bartender is beer-o-matic, she/he will have a frosty beer sitting at your favorite stool before you can hang up your jacket.
All of which usually means you are a drunk and spend too much time drinking beer...oh well, such is life.
