Should women drink pints of Guinness?

Tom Dunne

I am for the wimmins indulging in a drink or two, letting their proverbial hair down and having the craic with their menfolk. Especially when towards the end of the evening they get a little amorous.

However, there is one thing that just does not seem right to me - wimmins drinking pints of Guinness. Pints of lager, pints of ales, even a glass of Guinness, not a bother. But pints of Guinness? It just seems, well, wrong.

Discuss.

I say thee nay!!!


Theres just something a bit.... off about it. Guiness seems way too heavy for the wimmins delicate constitutions, would be very surprised if I found out one was well into them and not from the backarse of nowhere.

Mrs trout tells me wimmins should be allowed drink pints of whatevertheydamnwellplease ... including the Guinness*

If your bitter half (see what I did there ?) drinks the same as you, then you have an easy round, and an excuse to let rip in the wee small hours, and then blame herself.















*albeit with a dash of blackcurrant to take the sting out of it.

There's a young one where I work and it's frightening to see her put away pints of Guinness. She's only a little slip of a thing and you'd swear she was drinking water the way she goes through it with seemingly little or no effect on her. If only to stop this abomination (and her showing the blokes up) I say let them stick to glasses.

No problem with it at all.

Now, if they want to sweeten it with a bit of blackcurrent, then we've got a problem.

I was over on the mainland for a weekend, in Wales, and some bint got a pint of Arthur's with blackcurrant.

She got one of them long Knickerbocker Glory spoons, you know the ones, and proceeded to stir the pint into a suddy mess, then eat the head off it with the spoon :eek:

What an eejit.

As for wimmins drinking pints of the black stuff, meh, I don't care what the wimmins do, as long as they bring me my beer at regular intervals.

As long as they stand their round, and don't get silly stupid drunk... they can drink what they want for all I care.

Doctor DooM

As long as she is cooking a nice dinner for me and it isn't MY Guinness, she can drink what she likes!

:eek: Sacrilege.

Of all the indignity - wimmins drinking pints of Guinness with blackcurrant.

Down with that sort of thing.

g'em

Aside from being delicious, pint for pint Guinness has fewer calories than semi-skimmed milk, orange juice and most beers. Just another reason why I love my pints of black

I agree, that's almost sacreligious.
The only thing worse than that is when you get a Guinness and they draw a face in it.:mad:

Women in general tend to have smaller hands then men, as such the pint glass looks disproportionate in the hand of most women.

Surely the ultimate anti wimmin argument.

I can see it now:

Sorry, run that by me again, I didn't quite understand what you're on about.

All I heard there was "delicious" and "pints of Guinness".

The rest was all just mumbo-jumbo.

Jaysus this board is busy :eek:


Is this blackcurrant thing as god awful as it sounds? Have any Brothers ever chanced it and lived to tell the tale? Would ruin the stuff as far as I'm concerned, never understood it.

As a wimmin I just wanted to speak out regarding my support of fellow wimmins drinking pints of Guinness. Unfortunately I let my wimministic tendencies get the better of me and started to waffle about other nonsense. My sincerest apologies...

See above Tom, my bad. Consider my lesson learnt

I'm not entirely sure myself, but I have to sort of pretend to know so I can Moderate the-forum-that-is-not-to-be-spoken-of. If anyone finds out feel free to drop me a PM. Grassy-arse

A wise course of action Brother Des, although any reasonable judge would accept that you were provoked and could not be held responsible for your actions.

Tbh, I'm not a fan of wimmin and pints of Guinness, I agree it looks wrong. In fact, I'm not a fan of women drinking pints of anything. It might be because I'm quite petite and I look silly drinking pints. However, it's up to the wimmin in question! I've actaully never really tasted Guinness, the only time I've had it is when I make beef and Guinness stew... which I'm making tonight. mmmm, beef!

I like guinness with Tia Maria in it but wouldn't really have a full pint.:cool:

That's like saying what is wrong with men ironing their own clothes, or watching Corination Street when the match is on.

Guinness ahould not be sullied with any extra ingredients.

If Uncle Arthur wanted us to have Blackcurrant, or Tia Maria flavoured stout, he would have added them at the time he was creating this famous, delicious liquid.

Quite right, Brother DesF. And he would've gone bankrupt within weeks of introducing it. Or, and I hate to think of it, we could all be sipping that stuff, probably with a little umbrella thingy in it....

Is The-Rigger a Brother or a Brotherette, because with an attitude like that, I reckon she's a Brotherette tbh.

Ok, perhaps I was a little hasty. But it is a measure of how appalled I was at such a statement.

There are other kinds of alcohol. Guinness tastes how it looks, sh1te.

Guinness shouldn't be tampered with! I'm no fan of drinking the stuff but i KNOW not to mix it! :rolleyes:

I'd drink pints of other beers, i've never given the black stuff a good try, it does look funny being drunk by wimmin.


Also men look funny drinking cocktails particularly ones with umbrellas and straws in them :eek:

What's the big hoopla? Do you like the taste of every alcoholic drink/beer/stout/spirit you've ever tasted? Honestly

Yet on the flip side, you are all very understanding of Brother Trout going fruity, and getting exercise!

In fairness ... Brother zaph suggested I stick a cork in it, a champagne cork no less, Brother DesF basically told me I get what I deserve for eating fruit regardless of being clinically dead at the time, and you called me a fuppin' metro! All very understanding indeed

BTW ... I don't consider rugby to be exercise ... not the way I play. I tend to trot from set piece to set piece, pausing only to hit people who stray into my line of sight. Kinda like a hippo charging at trees ... it's hardly exercise. :cool:

Very true Zaph! I'll send any on their way when next I see it happen


Hmmmm cocktails

Two girls I work with, both very slim, can nearly drink more Guinness then I can water. :eek:

Well getting back on track. I knew this girl in college who could drink everyone else under the table. She won the yard of ale twice and was able to down a guinness in 2.8 seconds.

She was only about 5 foot and not a pick on her :eek:
