    What radio programme were you listening to? Al Murray standing in for Joe Duffy?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    It just doesn't look right. Sorry.

    There are more important things for me to worry about, those floors won't wash themselves and I can hardly expect a man to do it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    Wtf? Listen I'll have a frikken pint if I want. Heck I'll have a fcuking bucket of beer if I bloody feel like it. Are you going to go up to the bar to get me a new glass every half hour? No. So STFU. :mad:


    Grrrr


  • Moderators Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭ChewChew


    Any girl who enjoys a pint, but wont drink from a pint glass because she is worried what other people think of her needs a clip on the ear.

    pints of heineken all the way

    \o/


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 804 ✭✭✭yerayeah


    Tis the 21st century so why the hell not...

    Saw a fat yoke drinking a pint of Guinness through a straw a few months ago at a place that has terrible pints anyway. That is not acceptable imo... Pints and straws should lead seperate lives.

    Ah no, women's hands aren't meant for holding pints, they're meant for holding wine glasses, and alcopops, and washing up liquid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Who cares.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 423 ✭✭Pop's Diner


    Women shouldn't drink at all tbh. They should sit quietly in the corner until I decide it is time for them to drive me home.

    Blasphemy. A woman driver?

    You Sir are the worst kind of leftie liberal communist.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 403 ✭✭DeCoR18


    It shouldn't be legal for women to drink.

    Thanks.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 44 briansmurph


    Voted nay. Simple reason. It just DOES NOT look right.

    Be ladylike and drink a glass, or a bottle of bud or w/e it is.... but leave the pints alone.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37 Funkyspunkball


    Only if they can keep pace. I hate sitting with someone who nurses their pints. (men or women!!!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,957 ✭✭✭Euro_Kraut

    I hate that too.:mad:

    Unless they are an actual nurse. I wish case I understand its second nature and make allowances.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    Well, I think I've discovered my latest 'Who not to date' test.
    I can't believe this is actually an issue these days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 631 ✭✭✭moretothegirl


    im a girl and i hate seeing other girls drinking pints! it looks so manly and unladylike! just get it in a smaller glass and go up to the bar more!!

  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 5,838 Mod ✭✭✭✭irish_goat


    It doesn't look very ladylike at all, but I'd not kick anyone out of bed for having a pint so if they want to do it that's grand. Pints are cheaper to buy a girl than alcopops/spirit+mixer too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,488 ✭✭✭kingtut


    Who cares what they drink? It's the 21st century for crying out loud :rolleyes:

    On a side topic - women are great :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Let the wimms have their pints.
    If they can swallow those, they can swallow anything. ;)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,262 ✭✭✭✭Joey the lips


    Yeah why not.... They o.h is use to having a grip on big things anyway.

    Plus it saves you a lot of trips to the bar!


    Most girls go for shorts these days imo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭Smart Bug


    Pints ftw (it's far easier to slip a rufie into a pint than a bottle)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,276 ✭✭✭Alessandra


    It really bugs me that drinking pints is not socially acceptable for women in this country.
    I wouldn't go out for 12 pints or anything close to it but there is nothing like a cold pint on a hot day irrespective of gender. It is shocking that people still frown on women for holding a pint glass. I definitely wouldn't buy one in my home town for fear of the stares. it seems to be okay when you are in a big town and in college though. Other countries such as Germany women openly drink them.

    My husband has a good friend who is French and he truly believes that women shouldn't drink out of pint glasses. Once he was going to the bar and I asked for a pint of Guinness. He came back with a pint for himself and a glass of wine for me. I didn't bat an eyelid, just swapped the two glasses and started drinking the pint and told him that he shouldn't be mixing his drinks.

    He never did it again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    If you don't want to buy me a pint, you can get me a cocktail instead :pac:

    Yes indeed it gives me great pleasure to hear a women ask for "Sex on the Beach" or " A long screw against the wall"

    i think mines a pint all the same!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,032 ✭✭✭homerun_homer


    Nothing wrong with a woman with a pint. You feel she is part of the lads that little extra bit. I'm wary of the vodka/coke types who drink them slowly for a while then move on to water, not much fun.
    Pints + girls = better craic :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,095 ✭✭✭Wurly


    ahahhaahahhahahah - this thread is HILARIOUS!

    It's a non 'issue'.

    We shouldn't drink pints cos we're women. hahahaahahahahahahahaha

    'oh please, boys. Please can we drink a pint???' Yeah f*cking right.

    Heheheheheheheehehe.

    Thanks for that laugh, I needed it.:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,807 ✭✭✭speedboatchase


    It's not a big deal and wouldn't bother me but it DOES for some inescapable reason look wrong, like seeing a woman scratch her arse or burp
