They weren't asking who gets the most hammered and spouts the most BS at the end of the night in a bar.
Just what kind of suds people enjoy.
We get it, you don't like alcohol or being around people who drink it, your point has been made clear in the past.
Others on here do enjoy a sociable and believe it or not, I bet most don't turn into jackass's after a drink or 2.
People have pointed the high horse in your direction more then once it's not just me.

Actually I didn't go digging. For some reason this thread was at the top. I merely responded.

As for the high horse BS, you're entitled to your opinion.

Walk into a bar sober sometime and hang out for a half hour near closing time. Then tell me how high my horse is again.

Yeah, lots of people don't appreciate reality. It's ok. Ignore me. I do it for others.

The reality of what?
Please enlighten me...

High horse or no high horse, you have to admit - unless you're drunk, people who are drunk SUCK to be around. I can't remember a time where the converse was true.

That is EXACTLY why I choose to drink at my wife's work parties. Not only so I can tolerate (or be numb to) the people around me, but so I can make them all uncomfortable.

You guys would HATE me. Milkman, you would surely wanna punch me.

I wish I had a video of this one time I was out with my wife's friends, and I downed as much wine as I could before the meal came. I knew every one there (for at least 7 years), but because they meant so little to me (they are awful people), I started congratulating the wrong people who were expecting a baby. I also screwed up who was married to who.

It was classic. I cried laughing the whole way home when my wife was trying to explain what happened. I was still drunk, so it was like she was telling a story about someone else, and I was just listening to the funniest story EVER.

aah, booze.

and - to keep it relevant - I like ice cold coronas with the lime. Canadian beer was sleeman's, but it seems like they've done something funny with the carbonation.

LMAO, seriously?

The reality that booze does not make people as entertaining and enlightened as they think.

 

[Disbeat]

Again, still not sure how this relates in any way to people asking what ya grab when ya have a beer?

I don't drink as much beer as I used to nowadays. But I do try to support local microbreweries around here. If I'm in a bar, Keiths or Coronas are usually what I ask for.

As I mentioned before, I don't drink alcohol any more but I still haven't found any very good non-alcohol beers. Becks is the best I've found but it's still pretty awful. Does anyone here know of any that are at least a reasonable approximation of real beer?

Ontario microbrew for me. I like the Muskoka Mad Tom IPA and Flying Monkeys Atomic IPA a lot.

I also love St Ambroise Oatmeal Stout. Made in Montreal, black, a lot like guiness but a bit fresher tasting.

I remember my mother buying me that stuff when I was a teenager, thinking it would keep me from wanting the real thing,lol.
truth is, if beer didn't have alcohol, I wouldn't touch it (or anything that tasted like it) with a 10 ft pole

 

[bluzfish]

Yeah, I thought I might be chasing air with that question but I thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

Nah it's a good question, I'm sure there's a market out there for it with ppl who like beer much more than I do.
id take a good margarita over a beer any day of the week but it in some circles it just isn't as socially acceptable as a bottle of brew,

There's actually no non-alcoholic beers, but low alcoholic. 0.5% or less by volume.

Cool. Thanks for the link. I may check some of those out.

My search is due to my doctors warning me to stay away from alcohol. I guess my youthful "look what I can do to my body and still survive" way of life had it's limits. But low alcohol could still be in the picture on occasion.

I go through maybe a case of beer a year. This year I gladly went with

I went a long time going into the beer store and picking up 6 of different "craft" brews. But I started noticing that they all kinda taste the same. A huge over abundance of hops. I don't know when this became the IN thing to do, but there are a lot of folks doing the same thing and it does not taste good.

I drank Molson Canadian for about 30 years until they got in bed with Coors, and I thought that was enough of that because if anyone knows how to ruin a beer, it's Coors.

I still love the occasional Guinness, and sometimes I am a spilly drinker (Keiths). Of course a Hiney or a Lowenbrau is always welcome too.
