Agreed on basically all counts. Also, if you're throwing a party and get a few crates of the stuff in, you're pretty much guaranteed to spend about half the day after picking up stray bottles and mopping up stains in the carpet from the stuff. That said, I do love going down the pub and trying out some of the local brews - tastes about a gazillion times better than any of the cheap shite in the supermarkets. And I dread to think what 'lite' beers taste like, probably a diluted form of Corona (which never really crossed my mind as being possible 'til now). Whiskey and gin over beer anyday for me.
Cool thread.
