Not necessarily. The Extra Stout bottles...now THAT was/is crap. The cans and draught bottles are pretty good though. Of course, nothing beats draft Guinness...

Most of the beer I prefer doesn't even HAVE commercials.

Also, while this may come as a big surprise ... I'm not one for girly drinks (except for a brief period in my younger days when I had a fondness for Fuzzy Navels, but I got over it).

I like my beer dark and my scotch and bourbon straight, thank you.

Then, there are the commercials...very rarely do you see a woman getting a beer, chugging a beer, etc.

I, for one, would like to see more women chugging beer. That would make my day.

You probably still wouldn't hear the standard low, long "post-chug belch" come from one, though.

For those us of who like their liquor brown and straight (don't read into that, please) like Wolf, I highly recommend Famous Grouse (very, very, very smooth, and only about $12US up here in a nort), or a Three Wise Men (and if anyone argues, that's Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, and Johnny Walker; adding Jose Cuervo to two whiskeys is just a BAD idea) which is also like drinking a little sip of heaven.
For beer: the Champagne makes a good chaser or for grillin' out on a hot day, but for good beers: Belgian Trappist ales (of the monkish variety, like LaTrappe, which come as high as 13% ABV!) or Aass, which I think is Norwegian and also is terrific.

Now do you really want to ruin a tourist's visit by sending them over there?

Sure you will. Come to Plastic Forks this year.

And I won't be the only woman doing so. You gotta watch out for the lawyer. She's a wildwoman.

I wonder if she'll try to top drinking the beer from between her boobs this year...

You never know with Maria. She is just like the song from The Sound of Music.

Speaking of Forks, where the fuck did Bitmap go?

I have no damn clue.

Haven't even seen the boy on IM in a while.

My guess is that he drank his way out of college or something. Or maybe he's actually "applying himself" to avoid parental ire.

I agree with you on the Goldschlager and the Jaeger, and would like to add Berenjaeger to that list. I can drink Jaeger (it tastes like Formula 44D) if I absolutely HAVE to, but Goldschlager is de debbil!! That shite's 104-proof! (the first and only time I ever drank it, no one bothered to tell my lil ol' 100 lb- butt that...I had five shots of it over an 8-hour period--otherwise I was drinking water--and I got sick as the proverbial DOG and hid in a dark room for the entire next day.)

Gin is pretty icky, too...vodka, to me, has an oily, greasy texture, and vermouth...ACK...that stuff tastes like freshly-mown grass smells (I tried a martini once....bleh)...and as for scotch...I've never tried it...I figure if you have to AQUIRE the taste for it, why bother?

One thing I'd like to try, though, is brandy. I'm a sipper, and brandy's a sipping liquid. I'd like to try the flavored ones. I like sweet wines, too, usually red.

I just dumped out 13 beers...man, that was hard. Although, they were rather old (most of them were from Forks, the rest were easily 2 years old).

Why risk skunky beer ... think of it as an excuse to buy new. :)

The difficulty of this action depends on the type of beer you just poured out. Example: spilling Tennet's by accident would make me weep, but turning a case of Miller Genuine Draft into the sink is soothing, somehow.

Not a big loss...
