You have to remind yourself that you'r so fvcked up because all day, starting at noon, you went to a golf course with 3 of your best buddies to play 18 holes.

But in addition to golfing, your other primary objective was to get stupid smashed and have a real fun time of it. Then you find out it's not very hard because the beer-kart girl is super-SUPER-cute and never farther away than 50 yards the entire time.....and you took out 150 cash from the ATM the day before.

You find yourself and your friends getting so retarded that you not only spill your friend out of the golf-cart as he tries to polo-style hit his ball at the same time that you forget what you're doing and make a sharp turn for your own ball.....but the course marshall come and tells you and your friends to skip forward 4 holes to speed up gameplay (even though the people behind us...I mean you, never complained and weren't going any faster). But then he says that your group can play as long you like for the inconvienience....and so you do.....and so the day turns to night and you have to a get a cab back to the hotel where you start your irish car-bombs.

I've had both cans and bottles many times :). Both were poured into a glass before drinking. I think they both taste the same. The cans may have a bigger head due to more beer in a can than the bottle.

The bottles with the widget in them taste better than the cans if you do not have a glass to pour the Guinness into. I have often told people (usually family members) that I'll help them with a project around the house, but they have to supply all the Guinness I can drink, and drive me home. When you're working outside, you dont want the beer in a cup, anyway.

But yeah, if you have something to pour the Guinness into, the cans are better (though keg guinness with a properly calibrated tap > * ).

Guiness is meant to be poured into a pint glass either way, so it doesn't matter.

It tastes better when it is in a glass because you don't have that bobber thingy blocking the beer from your mouth and only letting foam by.
