The Joy Of Drinking

[Jerusalem and Damascus]

The cheaper and stronger the better. Not much into the connoisseur bullshit. Drinking is for getting drunk.

Not for me, it isn't. I like my beer tasty.

The alcohol content is probably the stronger draw.

Not really, though the alcohol does add to the flavour. I'm not drinking to get drunk or even buzzed.

The only time i've bought this "i'm not drinking to get drunk or even buzzed" type line is when I think the person drinking is doing so for the pretentious thrill of their 'discerning taste' being on show.

Well then I'm afraid you're just close-minded about the subject because that's exactly why I like booze: the flavour. Getting buzzed or drunk is a side-effect I don't necessarily mind, but I'm not only doing it to get drunk, just like I don't drink coca-cola or red-bull for the caffeine buzz (Red Bull because it tastes like Rockets/smarties)

It's not real if it's not correct, mate.

I've been drinking all my life, since I was raised that way, and being drunk holds no real mystery for me nor any real escape.

Heh this place is big on the passive aggressive terms of endearment.

Mate, brother and pal all in the space of a day

Meant no aggression by it, though if you prefer I don't do it, I won't.

God it's actually reflexive by this point. I actively had to stop myself.

Nah don't worry about it. It's presumably a forum culture thing that's seeped into your posts.

Beer is good... but know that when I say beer, I'm not talking about the mass-produced light moose piss. Give me a good craft beer any day so I can actually savor something.

Pssh. I can't afford to drink by taste yet. Thats the dream

edit: Not that it matters, I've forund 750ml bottles of really nice 7.2% cider at work which are regurly on 3 for a fiver. If not that theres always vintage Henry Westons- 8.4%

I actually have it on a t-shirt from the Flying Dog Brewery out of Colorado, all their products have Thompson quotes and art work from the guy who's name I cannot at this moment remember (but he did all the art for Fear and Loathing). It is litarally a party in a bottle (and tremendously yummy across the board)

Cider is fucking delicious. We have some in the fridge but I'm fairly sure it's reserved for the other residents of the house.

God damnit.

On the other hand, I'm the only person in my family who likes whiskey.

I've got two crates in my room, both of which oonly cost me £6 for 8 pints. I also live in Somerset and therefore Cider country.

"I am a cider drinker!"

Damn, now I'm craving it.

Of course, my father insists on putting it over ice, so whenever I'm drinking with him, I have to remind him every time I like mine straight, without anything like ice to dillute the taste.

You can't beat it.

A pint of local brewed stuff that you essentially have to chew and doesn't taste like alcohol for only £2.50 at my local too? Living the dream

It's damned expensive around here. Even Strongbow is expensive.

It's cause your living in yank land. Cider isn't appreciated as much over the pond, it's a sad state of affairs.

Strongbow isn't really cider either.

Canajun, actually. I am loyal to Her Majesty, at least until I skip off back to Belgium and get my title reinstated (one can dream, can't they?)

And I know, everyone says that. It's just... the Bud of Ciders.

No.....that would be Magners......or God-Forbid, WHITE LIGHTNING!

The first victim of the night, Ginger Beard. Not very ginger-y, but tasty. And it has an angry looking dwarf/Scotsman on the bottle.
