i've been resistant to 4.5% beer for years now Gery , though i try & control myself , don't buy spirits & haven't had a drink all weekend , anything above 5% is for absolute alcoholics though

I read your thread regarding depression & loneliness , a lot speak of older people suffering from loneliness but many younger people do too |

cant beat a nice glass of the old stella are-toe-is. well ya probably can. i dunno, all mass-produced lager tastes the same to me. except the lighter ones like coors and budweiser.

My woolly jumpered, bearded Real Ale acquaintances tell me that below 4% is a 'session ale' i.e. they can drink more than 3 pints before they catch their train home
|
|
By:
Red wine at 14,% is much more drinkable imo.
|
|
By:
drink 12 cans/pints of 3.9 then next week have 12 4.9 and youl find out the difference , but go at same pace 20-25 mins a can/pint

Nice bottle of Pinot Grigio for me.
12.5%, goes down a treat with a meal, almost like water but a bit tastier, and when you've finished the bottle & meal you get up from the table and everything seems better (and a bit unstable). |
|
By:
i dont normally do beer now , ciders as easier to drink and go down faster
plenty ciders out there now wine gets you hammered thats for sure |

Too true DwD.
Taking drugs simply keeps most of the dopey buggers quiet. It's alcohol that makes then violent and anti social. |

By:
YOUR A DRUG TAKER TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER ,BECAUSE YOUR NOT HAPPY IN YOUR OWN SKIN,ITS THE SAME WITH ALCOHOL

By:
They should examine why they need to take anything.
Plenty of people manage quiet well without taking drink or drugs. |

Still can't beat a nice glass of chilled Pinot Grigio. Not sure about "I need it, drug taking analogies, though".
I drink it because it's nice with my meal and (I don't think) harms me when taken in moderation. |
|
By:
^ Nor would a spliff, but many people see alcohol as ok, marijuana not okay. They are all drugs even paracetemol, we all know someone who eats these like sweets.

As I've got older I find I'd much rather drink one pint of a 6% beer than two 4%. Trouble is once you get used to the stronger stuff the weaker stuff seems.... a bit weak.

,and a little puff cant do any harm shirley? |

By:
I've just discovered Gin. Had a G&T for the first time for ages and have got the taste for it. Trouble is I'm not having it instead of a pint but as an appetiser.
