So what is bad about beer?
-
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:

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).

Liver disease.

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 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.

Besides given you a big gut? I love and drink the stuff like cooldrink.

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

I forgot that one! :laugh:

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

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:

Not true though. Its an acquired taste, like coffee. I use to hate it. It grew on me. Now the best picture one can draw where a person drewls over a beer is this. Floating slowly down the river. 105 degrees. The sound of slightly rustle in the trees. Oh is it a breeze? I could really use a breeze right now. Pole in hand. Nothing biting. Sun directly over head. I really am thinking we should get into the shade. Sploosh. Did you hear that? Maybe they will start biting soon. Man its freaking hot out today. Sip. Oh man. Its gone. "Hey bro. I am grabbing the last beer." Over my dead body will he.

When asked in a survey how much grain intake I have, I said about 3 to 4 bottles worth daily ;P

"It depends on the amount of beer you've already had." That has two scopes. For one, it depends on the amount of beer you've had that night. For two, it depends on the amount of that flavor beer you've had in your lifetime. If you've drank PBR all your life ( :(( ), you might not like Guinness.
