I almost feel incomplete when I'm not doing one of these.
Like the last one, this isn't in any order.
100 : Beer
I'm going against all my working class roots here but this stuff is vile.
I've never liked beer, I've never even pretended to like beer.
I might have the occasional one to be social but that's more not to rock the boat and be difficult if someone else is buying a round then having any great love for it.
I can honestly say I have never ever seen the appeal of drinking beer at home. I just don't find it refreshing in the slightest and to be honest at least in a pub you can vomit on someone else's carpet rather than your own.
While everybody else in England watches the World Cup from their sofa with a huge case of beer in the fridge i'll be much happier with a fridge full of cold refreshing fruit juice.
The main reason I dislike beer isn't so much the taste aspect though. I mean I drink whiskey so I can't really use the taste as an excuse to include beer here.
It's more to do with the sheer amount of volume of the stuff you have to consume of it to have any effect on you.
Why the hell would I want to knock back pint after pint after pint of the stuff when instead I can get the same amount of drunkness from casually sipping on a Jack Daniels & Coke without all the sweating, belching, farting pissing & dribbling that comes with drinking several pints of beer.
It's a sartorial thing as well, I want to stand there sipping on a whiskey or a brandy looking cool & sophisticated just in case I attract the attention of any nice ladies that happen to be in the vicinity. And if you are a woman and your idea of coolness & sophistication is watching some bloke necking 5 pints & belching in your face then quite honestly I'm sure i'll manage without your attention.
And what the hell is America's obsession with 'Lite' beers?
Isn't that like drinking beer that's twice as pointless?
