life is --- time

[takashi]

Hello,

I came across this:
"life is --- time"

This was written on a message board at a memorial house of a certain beverage company in Britain. I think a tourist wrote it praising the company or its beverage brand.

You could put for example in the --- and say:
"life is Budweiser time"
(are you allowed to put proper nouns -actual names- in the forum...?)

Might this be equivalent as:
"Let's enjoy --- !" ?

Any suggestions are heartfeltly welcome.
Thank you.

It's defining 'Life'. Notice the copular structure:

Life = Bud Time
Bud Time = Life

EX: Life is a bowl of cherries.

Thank you Casiopea,

So then I can rewrite it as:
"We were born to enjoy Bud."?
or
"Life is there to enjoy Bud."

I think Bud Time functions as a predicate nominal. That is, it's renaming Life. What's Life? Life is Bud Time. The definition of Life is Bud Time (i.e., a joyous occasion).
