I've no worries about the thread hijacking wrt drink driving... it's something that needs to be addressed in the same breath as drinking. When I'm driving, I'll have a beer or two to be sociable, but never within 2 hours of me going to drive. That means that ideally my body will have processed it and I'll be at 0.00. However, I read an interesting article that said even when you're at 0.00 BAC you're still adversely affected. In summary, maturity when drinking is important. If you have alcohol in your system, you're adversely affected, and putting others in danger. Imagine your family is on the road that night... would you risk injuring them because you wanted to drink??

Back on track... I hated Guinness is Australia, I thought that people who drank it were just being pretentious wankers. However, my uncle drank it when I visited him in the UK, and by God does it taste better. Stella tastes great from the bottle even in Australia rjf, and that's saying something as most foreign beers don't travel well. For instance, Labatts ends up tasting like Strongbow cider IMO. But drinking Stella on tap in the UK was brilliant, it's definitely a top beer

Goose Island Honker's Ale. This is a Chicago microbrew, but they are working on getting a 7 state distribution now. If I *have* to drink a mainstream American lager, give me MGD. Someone already mentioned Anchor Steam - that stuff is good too.

When I was in Morse code school, MGD was my choice to "debrief." The bar on base sold pitchers for $4.

The reason that I don't drink is because I like drive, my friends are your typical stupid drunks, they get way drunker than they have to be, and then do stupid things, but one stupid thing that they will never do, because of me, is to drink and drive. I would drive 100 miles if I had to, just as long as I knew my friends were home safe instead of being on the roads where they could potential kill themselves and kill others. I like it because I know that I can have a good time and am able to drive home safe, go to bed and have a great sleep, and wake up the morning ready to start a new day .

Moosehead Beer.
I learned to like beer while working at my fathers farm. I full day in the sun, dusty, dirty, sweaty, sore and generaly just beat nothing was remotely close to how good that beer tasted (taking the boots off was nice too).

Sorry fellers but I like American beers. I just prefer the taste. Guess if I was a European, I'd like European beers.

1) Killian's Irish Red (made by Coors)
2) Miller Genuine Draft
3) Old Style
4) Budweiser
