Sol, you had a drunken bacchanal at your hotel and didn't invite me! Shame on you.

My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really.

*is convinced that no-ones taught Sol how to drink properly*

Of course, who you drink with is important. If they're twats, drink won't make it any more fun. On the other hand, drinking with mates can lead to much hilarity as you relate stories that occured last night, to everyone elses disbelief. Or something.

All the US guys come over to my house, and I'll show you a good time.

Er, that sounds funny.

Yo usee the 'oh wait' part. That was the joke. Sorry for not putting a smiley in, but I thought it was obvious. I shall now get stoned.

Ok I'll ask not at what age Americans start drinking, cos that varies from person to person. I will ask what you drink.

Now do you drink that diluted water you all call beer? *g*

Since I was diagnosed, I don't drink ANYTHING....

BEFORE that .... I drank Vodka. Straight up. I also drank Whiskey, Scotch, and Rum. Wine occasionally. But mostly Vodka. I love that stuff.

The beer in America is nasty. I personally prefer the [insert edit here]darker[/edit] British brews myself.

Daryus, I am a beer snob and I consider much of American beer to be swill, watered down water as it were. Unfortunatly I am very lonley in that opinion.

When it comes to American beer, there are some very well done Micro brews...Anchor Steam and Sierra Nevada both out of San Francisco come to mind.

However, fine as these may be, my particular tastes run toward the darker ales of the British sort. Indeed, one of my personal favorites is Newcastle Brown Ale (yummy). Bass also produces a fine brew. And Guinness is a stout that curls the toes and teases the taste buds. I was personally turned off by beer (American stuff) until a professor bought me a Bass Ale in our school pub (he in fact used to hold class on occasion in the pub, and believe me the stories got even better with each sucessive pint.)

I will pass on a little story about beer drinking in America however. We went to a German restaurant for a banquet once with all the professors of my department. This restaurant is owned by a nice German fellow who of course stocks some very fine German beer. Well, professors drink like there is no tomorrow, so going around the table the majority order the fine German stuff, till we get to the guy who shocks us all and orders a Bud. I wanted to throw a fork at him.

*writing from the other side of the globe*

I can sympathize with those in the UK, actually. I'm on vacation in Taiwan this week, and the people here smoke like crazy. No one in my family actually smokes, but the first thing I smelled when I got out of the airport was car exhaust and cigarrette smoke. It's especially bad when people smoke in the elevator and leave the smell after them.

*is impressed that Jay is wise in the ways of the Broon Ale*

Went to my favourite (local) Tex-Mex restaurant last night, discovered they didn't have a non-smoking area - and this is a place where food is eaten! What am I meant to do, there's nowhere else around here I can get Negra Modelo. . .

Really Lee? How do you survive?

3 pints of Fosters...
then a random selection of Vodka/Red Bull
Southern Comfort/Coke
Jack Daniels/Coke
G & T
Tequilla
By that point, pretty much anything liquid.
Then Opium.

Well, American tastes in beer is really quite disappointing. To point a fact, there is a cool place just south of me called the Goathill Tavern. Well, the Goathill has like 140 or so beers on tap; some local micro brews, dozens of micro brews from all around the western states, and really good European beer.

So, care to guess what the most popular beer is?
Coors Light!

Life is too short to drink bad beer.

I drink Dr. Pepper. Straight up with ice. Sometimes Diet Dr. Pepper, too. I can easily plow through a six-pack in the course of a day.

YES! Dr Pepper. The much maligned soft-drink.

You've got to try it to love it, ya see?
