So What Are We Drinking Tonight?

How much do you save if you drink twice as much.? Is it still cost effective?

3% OMFG. My piss would be stronger. I cannot drink weak beer at all it has to be at least 5% and that's not just to make some masculine bravado point. Anything less just takes like carbonated water to me. I once won a case (24 cans) of Carling Black Label (4%). I never redeemed the prize. It's bloody horrible stuff and I would rather go without!

How much is that stuff per 4 pack? You can get Holsten Pils for £3 a four pack that's 5% and tastes OK. I just think it's a pointless exercise if that's weak personally.

That's a stout and completely different. Guinness is a social drink to be fair and I love it but I cannot do a session on it. In fact if I am on a marathon session I usually fuel up with a couple of guinness mid session as it's almost like food! Lager is drunk invariably to get ratted and so it has to be strong for me.

Fair enough, I was drinking Stella like a mad men when I was living there, I loved it. It was the perfect strength for me, strong enough to get me tipsy and then buzzed and then pissed if I paced myself right, but flavorful enough to have with lunch or tea, before the night at the pub.

On the rocks, two nights in a row.

So envious of you, I haven't had Grey Goose since New Years eve.

I think I'm going to top off my crappy bottle of liqueur and never buy that brand again, or perhaps I'll have some of my Jameson that I have yet to open.

It is affectionally known as 'Wife Beater' over here and I don't like it all that much. it has a bad aftertaste for me. Another is Grolsch. I find it far too sweet for me personally. I love Peroni but it's a little more pricey.

Yes, a barmaid I fancied at the local Whetherspoons use to tease me about my affection for it but her idea of a martini is an absolute disgrace. I enjoyed Peroni quite a bit, but Whetherspoons didn't have it on tap and I was trying to fit in with everyone else and sticking to pints.

i don't know what you were going for here but this makes you come off as a bit silly. since when is alcohol content is the only redeeming quality of beer?
