So what is bad about beer?

AspDotNetDev

Liver disease.

OriginalGriff

Hangovers. Getting arrested for drink driving. Cost. Dehydration. Having to get out of bed several times in the night to get rid of some more. Shouting on the big white telephone. Acting like an idiot when drunk (c.f. DD later this evening, probably). Should I go on? :laugh:

It's always lesser than you want.

Wife drives, she does not drink

R99 (around 8 pounds for a case of beer)

See above, more than enough beer

Nope, learnt to do that before bed ;p

Not sure on that one

Possibly, but I just like drinking beer, so I drink it mostly at home, by myself

With pleasure! Where is Mick Martin when you need him? :-D

See port above. Beer is dirt cheap in South Africa. 8 pounds for a case of beer (12 x 660ml = 24 x 330ml).

fair, but give some context/proof beer can actually damage the liver (no doubt strong liquor can do that, but I have not heard of a roman dying from liver disease).

I am there next month. Will make full use of that.

I see. And you consider that healthy behaviour do ya....

Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.

To that I say: "Everything in moderation, including moderation" Then all of the bad things about beer, which people have mentioned, are really no longer an issue.

Yes, I agree, ignorance is bliss and I will die happy ;)

He's probably not drinking to the point where he wakes up with a hangover. Not everyone who loves alcohol is silly enough to abuse their bodies so much that they end up with no memory of the previous evening, hangovers, throwing up, etc.

Nothing bad about beer, everything bad about non-alcoholic beer. :rolleyes:

You missed having Mrs Wife rip your todger off because you met her at the airport drunk. Again.

Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

AspDotNetDev

To be fair, we both missed one: taste. Though, that depends on the beer and also on how much beer you've already had. :)

Thou mewling ill-breeding pignut!

Ouch! But you do have an excuse - it is Luton, and it takes a lot of alcohol to make that tolerable. If DD moved away, he would possibly be teetotal. And United Distillers bankrupt.

I'm being well behaved and only having the one. Oops, make that two. But Guinness is practically eating so it doesn't count. :laugh: :laugh:
