Beer, man's best friend [Archive]

Weed is so much better.

Depends on wheter it's good or bad beer. A couple of nice cold hobgoblins can really hit the spot. But on the other hand I have only tried weed twice and it didn't do a whole lot for me then so I'm probably not the best one to judge.

I'm not fond of beer at all. Its smell is more than a little reminiscent of urine, and the taste is rather depressing. I tried it several times in several countries, including Germany and the Czech Republic, and it was semi-tolerable at best. Never finished a single mug, except for some fruit-flavoured beer which isn't really representative of the beverage.

Vodka and cider are slightly better, wine and cream liquor are fine enough, and sparkling wine is sweet.

You lost me right there. That's like drinking from a bung- and a shi'hole. Drink Belgian beer, it's about the only thing we have to offer.

Worthwhile offers:

Jupiler
Donkere Carolus
Leffe
Duvel
Dulle Griet
La Chouffe
Babar
...

any Belgian beer actually except Maes, Primus, Cara and Stella.

Pfft, beer. If I want alcohol I drink real alcohol - vodka and rum. Drinking bad tasting shit doesn't make you a man, especially when the alcohol content is comparable to wine coolers.

I don't give a fuck if it's Canadian beer, American beer, Belgian beer, Dutch beer ..it's all weak piss-flavored bullshit.

Seriously, you do not know what you are talking about

Yeasted drinks cannot be compared to fermented drinks.
Also, Belgian beer is far above piss flavored bullshit, if you'd ever bother to drink it, you'd know

German beer is also rather doable, but i'm in a nationalistic mood so feth it all.

The only alcohol that is really worthwhile other than beer is whisky.

'Seriously', read it again, I was comparing the alcohol content. Can two alcoholic drinks not have their alcohol content compared? If you answer is that they cannot, then you're fucking stupid.

It's funny that you assume I haven't tried any of the beer from countries I mentioned simply because I called it piss-flavored bullshit and don't have a favorable opinion of it. I was born in Germany, so I'm not some isolationist American who's never left his home state.

I'm not a fan of beer, and most of it tastes like piss-flavored bullshit to me. I prefer my drinks with a decent percentage of alcohol.

Once upon a time I too was a beer hater. But then I got to drink some beer that actually tasted good, Belgian and Czech ones being among the best although the English can produce some pretty decent ones aswell as the Germans and Austrians being decent, hell even the Japanese can make some drinkable ones.

Then there is booze and the sweet waters of life, good old Scottish whiskey, one of the finest drinks ever produced. Rum is also nice in all it's many different flavours. But I do have a special place in my heart for some good snaps (not schnaps) good old nicely flavoured vodka, it's really nice along with the traditional food that goes with it.

Damn it now I'm getting in a drinking mood. Luckily for me there will be some good eating and drinking tomorrow. Hopefully some good beer and snaps will be avalible.

No you cannot compare drinks simply on the alcohol content because there is a difference between yeasted and fermented drinks. Due to contemporary production systems you even have to make a difference between chemical and natural products.
Also, I never claimed you were an isolationist American

And I respect someone who doesn't like beer or even alcohol. People have the right to decide what they like and what not. I just need to get fed like a hungry troll.

Thank you BTW

Well, maybe I just got ahold of the wrong Belgian beer.

So you're flat out telling me that you cannot compare the ABV of drinks simply because they differ in production? My comparison was that the ABV of beer is similar to that of wine coolers, and often even less than wine coolers. Basically I was saying they're both weak as far as their alcohol content is concerned.

If that was directed at me, I haven't been drunk in years. I don't drink often, and when I do it's mixed drinks with hard liquor. I just don't like the taste of beer, and it takes too much of it to even get a buzz. I'd rather drink a glass of some awesome mixed shit than drink six bottles of piss to start feeling something.

Ah. Then whatever floats your boat. I enjoy mixed drinks, beers sometimes, even a glass of wine with some dishes.

Alcohol is not the only deciding factor with alcoholic drinks. My precise knowledge of chemistry is FAILED to say the least, but the amount of sugar, for example, still present also make a difference.

I for example can drink a lot, to my standards, of beer, without getting sick. While a friend of mine has less problems with handling spirits, although he'd puke his guts out after 5 glasses of beer

Oh shut up. It's well known that Mohammed was very fond of the grape, hell I bet he came up with the no wine policy just to make sure he had more for himself. Other than that it's also well known that Saudis drink the booze they confiscate, I have also heard tales from an Iranian friend of Iranian tour busses that go to Turkey, the second they cross the Iranian border they bring out the booze and start drinking.

As a percentage, how much of the 1.5b+ muslims in the world do these unproven incidents account for? say around 0.00001% or thereabouts perhaps?

I would hazzard around 60 to 70 actually. As far as I know it's only the hardline muslim countries that prohibit alcohol, and even they are horribly hypocritical with it and will drink it if they get their hands on it. I wouldn't even be surprised if I heard about some Talibans getting a party started with some confiscated booze. Or okay I would be surprised, damn fun hating Wahabit assholes that the Taliban are they would probably pour out all of that sweet liqour on the ground without it ever getting a chance to ruin my liver.

Except on a Thursday night, when you have to work on Friday. Saddest thing is, I'd do it again.

Yeah did that one before, and friday was my last day at work, so I got lots of free booze. Hell I was still drunk when I went into work the next day.

I don't drink much these days. I can't smell rum or I start to puke, I got drunk off that far too many times. I'll have a bit of beer once in a while, or some wine. Last vacation I was introduced to Mudslides, which were very nice. Oh yeah, and Frangelico is really nice over ice. But I drink maybe once a month now, if that.
