AFAIK amen means 'so be it'.

-edit-
From dictionary.com:

amen

This Hebrew word means firm, and hence also faithful (Rev. 3:14). In Isa. 65:16,
the Authorized Version has "the God of truth," which in Hebrew is "the God of
Amen." It is frequently used by our Saviour to give emphasis to his words,
where it is translated "verily." Sometimes, only, however, in John's Gospel, it
is repeated, "Verily, verily." It is used as an epithet of the Lord Jesus
Christ (Rev. 3:14).

It is found singly and sometimes doubly at the end of
prayers (Ps. 41:13; 72:19; 89:52), to confirm the words and invoke the
fulfilment of them. It is used in token of being bound by an oath (Num. 5:22;
Deut. 27:15-26; Neh. 5:13; 8:6; 1 Chr. 16:36).

In the primitive churches it was
common for the general audience to say "Amen" at the close of the prayer (1
Cor. 14:16). The promises of God are Amen; i.e., they are all true and sure (2
Cor. 1:20).

Er....no.....

Drinking Budweiser would be blasphemy of the Beer God :-P.
