Title: I'm not a drunk (Re: Guild Wars II)
Post by: Steve on September 11, 2012, 11:39:00 PM
Knowing you like to drink comes as a surprise to me. I like you more and more as I learn that you are not as boring and dull as you seemed for the past ten years :p

I don't drink often and never to excess but I like beer.  And I often feel like I need a drink (but refrain)

I don't feel like I need a drink often, but when I do, I don't refrain.

Why you would drink beer not to excess is beyond me.  If I'm drinking to drink, it's usually liquor or wine.  I don't mind beer, but I wouldn't drink it for fun.

I don't mind liquor but ... meh.  Wine is nice and I go through phases with it.

As to why a person would drink beer to excess:  It is a hell of a lot cheaper than wine and spirits.

Spirits maybe... but I can feel pretty good on a half bottle of $7 wine.  Unless you're drinking natty light... you're not going to get beer much cheaper than that.

Some people actually like natty. Im not sure why

because its cheap and watery and all they ever had.    Then they drink real beer and realize they don't like the taste of beer after all.

One of the fathers of my nephew's friend always bring miller beer to my brother's BBQs and will only drink that.  The rest of us look at it with disgust.  That type of crappy beer is actually what kept me away from beer for a long time.

I really don't mind the Millers of Buds of the beer world.  I don't prefer them, however they have their place.  Natty, PBR, and the like do not.

Miller Lite is ok... that's what my father-in-law drinks.  I personally like Sam Adams as far as 'commercial' beers go.

Sam is usually my go to commercial. As a home brewer though you learn most commercial beer sucks

I like Sam Adams but it isn't a beer I can drink a lot of.  I'm a fan of Pyramind's Hefeweizen.  What I actually like to do is go to the store that has a build-your-own-6-pack and get 6 different beers.  Oh and Kona Brewing Company has some great beers also.

I was a beer snob too. I would not touch a domestic macro brew for the life of me. I rather not drink beer than drink a bud or something. I changed a little; I really took a liking to coors and coors light, and I buy it for those hot summer days. I do always stock up on polish brews when I want something that has some taste, but as a thirst quencher, coors is awesome. To think of it, coors is the only macro brew I drink, everything else still tastes like piss :p

Im a beer snob, but i always have been. The shittiest beer I can tolerate is Corona. Coors by the pitcher if someone else is paying and im already drunk.

i forgot about corona; we drink quite a bit of it during the summer.

Maybe I'm the only one... I think Corona tastes like ass.

I am no big fan of it.  I can drink it...but do not prefer to.

I am okay with Coors.

Harp makes a few nice brews as does Sam Adams.  Y-ling is okay.

The only beer you must fruit.

You never fruit the beer.

Corona you do.  I've also had a few wheats where an orange slice really does add a nice taste.

It isn't a bad beer but not really my style.

Almost forgot Stella.  Another great beer but a little on the expensive side: http://www.stellaartois.com/?p=4842

Never had the beer, but they gave me a free Chalice around new years which was cool
