Actually they drink dodgy beer too....try pre-mixed beer with a slug of malt-whiskey in it.

(They just couldn't sell that over here, it'd bring the country to it's knees...or rather from it's knees to total collapse..)

I managed the collapsing last night, bumped into an old friend who took pity on my skintness and bought me drinks a plenty :/

Yikes! I'll take mine without malt whiskey. I can't imagine how drunk I'd get. And how hurt I'd be the next morning.

Now that you mention it, I've got a hazy memory of reading it as 'Aldershot' at one point.....no wonder it slipped my memory...

I can't figure out how we're all descended from other places (i.e. U.K., Germany, etc.), particularly from places where brewing is an artform, and our beer is little more potent or well made than tap water. My old man thinks I'm adopted b/c I generally won't touch most Domestic Brews. If I passed both those tests, must mean I can fit in!

And you're smoking as well...are you trying to pass the third test?

I'm 3 for 3. I smoke pipes and cigars on a semi-regular basis. (no wacky stuff, mind you!)
