Just a question. Why do people like alcohol so much? It's rather bitter, dizzying etc etc. So what do you think?

To some people it is only drinking one bottle of beer.


Exactly I am about 5 foot 10 and way 7stone and am, surpringly, a huge light weight I could probably sdtart getting drunk of 2 cans (which saves on money) if I drink at parties it is a fine line between drinking sociably and getting plastered. And often I ignore that line completely

I dislike the bitter taste personally, but it's just an opinion.

I don't... It does taste a little bitter, but other than bear I can drink anything! Except this one thing... I don't know what it's called but it's like Greek vodka. Just... not as good. I found it in the Wikipedia!
I'm also not a big fan of bourbon, I don't like the aftertaste.

My relatives drink it all the time. Personally it's not my thing. It's not really drunk that much in Greece, only on special occassions, normally weddings. It's also meant to be drunk mixed with water.

What is your favourite brand?


Theakston's Old Peculier is great. Youngs is great as a lighter ale. It doesn't travel well though. Only drink it in London. I also really liked Lowenbrau beers I tried in Munich. Best lagers I've ever had. There are laso lots of excellent Czech lagers that I can't care to think of right now.

I see.

Also, can't forget Guinness. That's a great winter drink.

Yeah Budvar is good stuff. Not at all like Budweisser which is simply awful. King Of Beers indeed.

There's other nice Czech stuff too. Urquell is good.

Hmm Guinness is quite the drink, but personally I like mixing my own cocktails, as I am still underage.... ( not in mexico/euro countries )
I end up resorting to brandy, as it is a very rich and sweet drink which mellows out the natural sugars of the fruit juice.

True say.

With regards to budweisser, it's the only drink I have actually left unfinished deliberately. It just tastes atrocious. Although, I am from a family of beer snobs and was raised on fine British ales, so I have higher standards than most guys I know.

as I am still underage....


America yeah? 21. That sucks. In Britain with a decent ID, I got served regularly at pubs from about 15. It also helped that puberty kicked in and gave me some decent facial hair.

of course a bottle of jack doesn't hurt either


I'd agree with you there. I also like Jim Bean too. Whisky is one of the 3 spirits I drink, the others being rum and vodka. Smirnoff or Stol for Vodka, or some kind of Jamican rum is always pretty nice.
