Whats the bloody world coming to, eh?

Got to admit though, not touched that wife beater stuff in years, ales n spirits for me, in that order in the same session.

Im the same when it comes to lager,3 pints and im sozzled,feeling slightly sick and dashing to the toilet every ten minutes.
I normally drink rum and to get the same effect takes about 3/4 of a bottle but without the feeling slightly sick and running to the toilet bit
Very strange :?
But its a very clear cut case for sticking to spirits

Maybe it's my Northern Genes but I can usually take 7 pints before I'm 'away'!

I hardly touch booze anymore, just doesnt appeal to me the whole 'getting wasted' thing.

Maybe 1 or 2 pints a month, normally with a nice roast dinner on a Sunday.

I had a few beers and a glas or 2 of wine at Christmas, with the odd Port before bed

Me and the Mrs have rediscovered shandy recently, sharing a can of Fosters with lemonade! Childhood memories

Stella and most other brands mass produced lager make me into a c*ck, unless I am abroad, where lager is good.

Ale or wine or spirit for me (sometimes all three).

I should know better - driving for a living means no pub trips for weeks on end. I'll stick to, erm... hmmm... dunno.

It's the half that did you in - everyone knows you get more drunk drinking halves than pints.

I definitely noticed the same thing. I found myself being aggressive and having massive hangovers when I was on the mass produced crap. Then I moved to Ales about 7 years ago and what a world of difference, and I agree drinking lager abroad is different too. Take San Miguel for example, the stuff in Spain actually tastes different, it's clean and crisp, it's brewed in Barcelona, the stuff here tastes more "chemically" and is brewed in Glasgow (i've done a blind taste test on friends and they all went for the Spanish stuff). I have been saying this for years but I do think a lot of the violence problems are down to the lager and alchopops here.

I can drink fair few pints of Stella (or whatever's cheap at Bargain Booze) but the hangovers are the worst. Even just a couple of pints gives me an awful hangover.
