UK pricing, we pay about twice as much 'cause taxes.
Cigarettes, they cost the unfortunates like, $40 a pack.
A good tax is one you don't pay so I'm OK with that
I've been a wine drinker, much better tax treatment.
I've tried to grow veg but something always eats it
Yes I have now grown bland beer in a fancy bucket
I think Stout is the way to go, don't even need eat.

Take my advice, don't listen to me.

No, not generally but every population's got its weirdoes

Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I'm partial to reds, but porters are also fun.

There was a time when I regularly had Tooth's Sheaf Stout for lunch. It was something to look forward to!

Brits drink lager cold.

The "warm beer" bit cones from the diff between beer and ale. Beers are ok cooled but ales, made without hops, do not work - taste-wise - below a certain temperature. Cellars are usually about  6 -11oC, 42 - 52oF. Warmish to Yanks and Ozzies.

One rarely sees brown ale or mild ale. India Pale Ale still exists I am told and the epitome of ales, "barely wine", is also to be found. Bitter is made with hops, an import ftom Belgium a few centuries ago - drink that cold if you like.

Ice cold ale is like ice cold red wine, the stuff of shudders!

In my favourite eatery the lager is under pressure and runs through a chiller hut the "real ales" are in kegs that just sit on the bar, gravity drawn via a beer tap. Not as good as a proper cellar but near enough. Better to be just under room temp.

Ok.  ;D

I asked out of curiosity, can't say I'm feeling adventurous enough to try. I haven't drunk a sip of beer since I was about 11 or 12 and stole one of my father's cans. I don't remember the brand but I do remember it tasted awfully bitter, and it possibly put me off beer and similar drinks forever.  :bleh:

My uncle gave me a taste of his beer when I was about 2.

Yes, I thought beer tasted terrible when I first tasted it - but I persevered to qualify as a "man" like the resr of the boozers around me.

Now I actually like the taste! But not the volume...

It must have done something to your taste buds. :P ;)

Yes, but I still can't stand really dry wines and sherries!

Asmos don't like beer. The taste disagrees with them. However, The Asmo, the Asmoest of all Asmos, may have a glass every now and then if the company provides a sufficient positive counterweight to Asmos' natural aversion to the taste.

Now, how can He further complicate this explanation?  :headscratch:

The only thing that isn't clear to a non-social drinker is if you're referring to pleasant company or boring people.  :scratch:

I'd imagine that a few beers would cause someone who isn't all that fun to be around to loosen up a little.
