What do you drink?

[boywoos]

You a CAMRA member Requiem? I'd totally forgotten about real-ale; the festivals are pretty sweet IMO.

[requiem_for_a_starfury]

Nope just your commonal (pub) garden drunk, whose local has a different speciality ale every month .

[Mandalorian FaLLouT GoD]

Beer is winning chaps, I guess no hard drinkers here... perfectly sane.

How come fallout fans don't enjoy the rot-gut?

Its because most people see beer as the be all, end all in drinking.
Beer is a leisure drink when other people are drinking it at some place in a bar where you can't afford anything else.
The stuff tastes like shit and everyone knows but won't admit it.

Plus, it has a terrible amount of alcoholic content. Highest beer i've seen was 10% and it tasted like absolute shit, while the 5% Canadian beers are easily the most drinkable. Americans get this weak assed 2-3% stuff and think they developed drinking.

My country has alot of decent cheap wines, so I mostly drink wine tho I always love a good cold beer.But mfg is right beer does taste like shit, usually you have to drink quite a few times before starting to like it, and most people only drink it cold.

[Arjuna]

thats true... but cold beer really goes down well on a hot day. And the matter of aquiring taste applies to drinks like wine, rum, whiskey (totally awful shit but every here in Scotland wants a wee dram,whatever that is).

[boywoos]

Beer is an acquired taste, it is stupid to out and out say it's awful.

Mandy: I'd heard American beers are usually 2-3%, surely this cannot be true?

Arjuna: A wee Dram is a reference to Drambuie, it's just a brand of whiskey.

[Lynxer]

adorable

[Arjuna]

congratulations, you have sextuplets

[Nicolai]

that guy looks pregnant..

It's a matter of taste, requiem.

It's a matter of taste, requiem.

Yeah I know, but still the majority of wine drinkers are pretentious snobs.

A wee Dram is a reference to Drambuie, it's just a brand of whiskey.

Drambuie means yellow drink IIRC and a wee dram is the same as saying a small drop. Dram probably = drink.

[Corpse]

When I drink beer I usually have either Hahn Premium, Victoria Bitter or if I got the cash to spare I may indulge in an imported beer like Guinness, Heineken or Löwenbrau.

[S4ur0n27]

And the majority of beer drinkers are fat, ugly, redneck and stupid?

[Kashluk]

Got milk?

Bit hard to get a red neck when you're in the pub all day supping pints. Aren't all drinkers stupid?

BTW Arjuna I've just remembered 1/16th of an ounce is called a dram in the old imperial measuring system, so a dram is also a measure of whiskey.

[S4ur0n27]

I was just saying, saying most wien drinkers are snob makes you look full of shit.

thanks.

Isn't it the popular perception that drinking beer makes you working class and wine makes you a snob?

[the guardian]

I was just saying, saying most wien drinkers are snob makes you look full of shit.

Most wine drinkers are yuppies, and some are snobs. Mostly the yuppie part, though.

[Aneurysm]

Heh I dunno about Canada, England or Israel but in latin countries all social classes drinks wine, it doesn't belong to a specific class, beer on the other hand is more of a youth drink or a summer drink. Aquiring taste applies to wine too, but it's takes less time to start enjoying it.

Mandy: I'd heard American beers are usually 2-3%, surely this cannot be true?

It sure is. Maybe if they are lucky they can get some 4%. Americans aren't allowed to have alcoholic beer because they get excited and cause mischief.
