The expertise on booze on the thread is quite something. Being a lightweight on booze, if not in the physical world, I have to tip my hat to you chaps.

I think I'll just do one more today and then stop....Perhaps someone else can take it on or perhaps not.

I'm afraid so.....I'll be back on the diet coke myself.

Adnams Broadside. Good flavour.

on draft, excellent, another good east anglian beer though from Suffolk.

I was never a bitter drinker till I got bought a pint by accident in a country pub in West Sussex about 25 years ago - it was like an angel crying on one's tongue, but you have less than a 10% chance of a similarly pleasant experience if you drink ale, it's fresh like cheese, yoghurt or wine - if a landlord does not know how to keep beer you'll drink vinegary crap whatever the brand - keg bitter is awful, stale beer boiled and pumped with gas, avoid, in a pub ale must be 'pulled' not come out of a tap, it was Gale's Ale from Sussex that converted me btw, but bottle beers and draught may be very different, however the Czechs do black lager (roasted/burnt caramelised cereal in the brewing process), budvar did it in a bottle and it was OKish, but if you get a good czech black lager it's like a choir of angels masturbating on one's tongue, the sweetness and the bitterness cancel each other out and a subtle nuttiness delights the palate. Swiss and Poles do it too - but the Poles do some horrible stuff a bit like an old-fashioned 'mild' which is another tipple that needs strict conditions if you are not to be left with something nasty swilling around your trap.

Oh the irony!
