The difference between 4.9% & 3.9% beer

you need to move up to special brew imo

1% counts for a lot!
although it is a 25% increase...you are getting alcohol resistance Moonbeam

tennants super, 8 cans of that and you will need an ambulance

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 used to drink 15 pints of stella on a night out. what percentage alcohol was my blood?

and more to the point, could i have bottled me p1ss and sold it as carling?

lol , I've never been a Stella fan tbh bob the stuff just makes me feel sick, though wouldn't refuse a Stella top in a fancy glars

Hope you're well btw Gery

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

Red wine at 14,% is much more drinkable imo.

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

on average

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).

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

I USED TO THINK DRUG TAKERS WERE SCUM,WHILE I WAS DRINKING ALCOHOL AND THOUGHT I WAS NOTHING LIKE THEM

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO SAY YOUR SOCIAL DRINKERS ,IS OK TO BE A HEROIN SOCIAL DRUG TAKER
AND PLEASE DONT BE NASTY TO ME IF YOU REPLY ,I DONT READING NASTY THINGS

Too true DwD.
Taking drugs simply keeps most of the dopey buggers quiet.

It's alcohol that makes then violent and anti social.

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

They should examine why they need to take anything.

Plenty of people manage quiet well without taking drink or drugs.

ALOT SAY THEY DO IT TO SOCIALISE,ITS BECAUSE THEVE GOT BIG ISSUES LIKE MYSELF,AND CANT SOCIALISE WITHOUT THEIR FIX

we dont see things as they are, we see them as we are...

hth

I STILL HAVE BIG ISSUES AND NOW HAVE MY LYONS SPORTS MIXTURES AND LIQUORICE TOFFEES TO EAT AS MY FIX

WE SEE THINGS AS WE WANT TO ,AND ONE MIN WE SOMETHING AS RIGHT AND THEN WRONG WHEN IT SUITS US,WE ALL TALK TO SUIT OUR SELVES

ONE MIN WE GET ANNOYED AT THE BANK CASHIER BECAUSE WEVE GOT NO PROOF OF IDENTIFICATION TO DRAW CASH OUT ,BUT IF ANYONE ELSE COMES IN THE BANK AND IS HORRIBLE TO THE CASHIER ,WE THINK WHY DONT YOU SHUT UP AND GET SOMECIDENTIFICATION YOUR HOLDING MECUP IN THE QUE

ITS GREAT WHEN YOU REALISE YOUR NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD ,IT TAKES ALOT OF PRESSURE OFF YOU ,WHEN YOU REALISE YOUR PART OF THE PROBLEM .AND SOMETIMES YOUR RIGHT OUT OF LINE EVEN THOUGH YOUR CONVINCED YOUR DEAD RIGHT

You are ( you're ) not your. Hth

IM NOT FALLING OUT OVER THE LETTER E

....and the apostrophe - in the right place !

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.

^ 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.

yer got to taste the hops man,and a little puff cant do any harm shirley?

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.
