What's the point of beer?

[brigden]

Your first problem is that you live America. Your second problem, which is related to the first, is that American beers are shite.

 

[hdeck]

instead of drinking beer (or liquor for those that don't want to get drunk "too quickly") why not drink something like schmirnof ice or bicardi?

I agree.

Why don't you drink yourself a nice pretty pink winecooler? But, don't forget to put a lime in it and one of those umbrella straws.

And then wonder why all of us sucking back the suds are laughing at your pansy ass.

To each his own I say, if he doesn't like beer, whatever, that's fine with me.
Have fun beating your chests and comparing your d1cks.

I like the taste of beer very much, but only if it's ice cold right from the fridge and the weather is either warm or hot (better). However, no matter how cool that beer thing is (and it sure is... cool) I think it's best not to overdrink it since it does contain considerable amounts of alcohol and it does cause bellies and basically it's just an alcoholic drink, not a pepsi by far . And what young people do nowadays since beer is cheap they drink it like every day and they're killing themselves with it.

What's the point of going to a pool hall and taking 5 shots of crown and not being able to drive home? Instead, you go, have 5 beers, have a good time and you're still able to stand up and talk and shoot without looking like an idiot, and you can also drive home.

5 beers? It wouldn't be legal

Of course it would, unless you weigh 95 pounds and your'e idea of a "good time" is spending only 20 minutes at a pool hall.

Well, if you're a 160 pound male and drink 5 beers you're at .12 BAC. After 2 hours you're down to .10 BAC
A 180 pound guy who drinks 5 beers would be at .11 , then .09 after 2 hours which is straddling the legal limit.

Now, if you're a 100 pound female who drinks 5 beers, well.. .23, and .21, lol. Wasted.

I'm pretty sure 5 beers is over the limit here in England. But your American beers may be lighter? Or you may have higher alcohol limits?

Drinking is definately more prominent in Europe and England. Ages range from 16 in France and about 15 or 16 in Italy to 18 in England. In France they serve beer in McD.

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!

Our beers are weak compared to yours. On average it's like 5% alcohol by volume. I meant like 5 beers in a couple hours. It depends on what type of beer though. I'd like to go to Germany one day - heard there's some gooooooood $hit over there And I didn't mean to imply that drinking and driving is ok, but it's all about knowing your limits

I think American beers are smaller too, isn't a standard beer 12oz there?
If so that's only the equivalent of 3 English Pints.

Yea standard is 12oz. (bottles) At restaurants you can get 32oz schooners though and 20oz drafts though

you're such a girl!

[Mallow]

it is definitely aquired.

 

[YayiFury]

hard liquor makes me throw up...beer doesn't.

 

[KEV1N]

My roommate just told me that "beer makes you fat" is a myth. Anybody have proof/disproof?

 

[badluck]

Can someone explain?
It tastes bad and dehydrates you, so the only reason you would drink it is to get drunk, yet it contains little alcohol so you have to drink alot of something that tastes bad and dehydrates you. Why not drink liquor that doesn't even taste bad and contains much more alcohol? I'm not seeing the logic. Have the beer companies simply conned America into idolizing beer?

Man, you definately are a dork....

 

[Johnbear007]

The point of beer is to get your mom drunk so she will toss my salad.

 

[TheOverlord]

I enjoy the taste, and there's nothing like coming home after a long day and having 1-2 beers while grilling some stuff on the BBQ.

BBQing!? But House Of Commons Member Johnny AssPirate says that we're contributing to the pollution problem by using our barbeques!

Oh, hold on, I gotta flip the burgers.

You must have missed the post I made in Fausto's smog thread about my little town of Crapsville, Ontario, having the worst air quality of the country. API was over 70 that day, IIRC. And I wonder why my eyes burn some days.

Wow, for the most part though the air up north is fairly good.

Did you know that here in K-W we have some of the worst air quality (on average) in the province? The smog from Nanticoke (coal fired power plant on Lake Erie) and the US cruises right up the Grand River valley and hovers over us. :disgust:

Oh yeah, it's normally great up here. It's just been terrible these past few weeks or so. Don't know why.

So, ATOT Ontario BBQ meet? I've got an empty house for the next week.
