    Hi all, I'm sitting here having a beer and it's nicest thing in the world, I'm wondering why this is,and I don't mean alcohol but beer exclusively.

    According to wikipedia
    Beer is the world's most widely consumed[1] and probably the oldest[2][3][4] of alcoholic beverages; it is the third most popular drink overall, after water and tea.

    they got it right up until the last part

    Anyway it's been on my mind.

    Cool name for a band.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 437 ✭✭t1mm


    Probably because of the alcohol thats in it tbh, brainwashing you into thinking its nice. How often do you drink non alcoholic beer?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Makes belching that much easier

    Nothing sexier than a woman belching after a beer session

    well humanity has grown accustomed to grain - some more than others. so there's a sensation of eating (which the brain likes a lot)as well as all the other 'benefits'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭Loomis


    All beer taste the same.
    Like crap.

    Rather a coke tbh.

    Well you see,it's like this...

    A herd of animals can only move as fast as the slowest one.
    And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.

    This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

    In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells.

    Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells.
    But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.

    Regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

    And that is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

    For a country that has such a love affair with beer we drink some awful muck. The selection of beer in the average Irish pub is the worst in Europe. Ice cold lager, and a stout that is more marketing than taste.

    Keyword in my post would be 'taste'.

    - Have no friends

    Is this the great myth perpertrated by Guinness about the perfect pint? The old Dublin geezer standing behind the bar, ready to pour the perfect pint, with a story about the time Brendan Behan called in on a Thursday morning? Rubbish to be honest.
    The two stage pour is a remnant of the move to draught Guinness back in the 60's. Guinness has been nitrogenated, and it can be served in one pour, the same as any other nitrogenous beer. I've tried the stuff in many places where Guinness is not the national drink, in many different climates, with many different barstaff, in many different glasses. And it always tasted like Guinness, a nice, if inoffensive beer designed to be sold around the world.

    If you're seriously saying that a pint of Guinness is the same no matter where you drink it, you're very wrong. The difference between a good pint and a bad pint is vast.
    The consistency/creaminess of the head is completely different; you can tell a bad pint just by looking at it.

    Hate the taste of beer, or at least any beer I've tried. Much prefer cider or spirits.

    There was one beer I tried (Cobra, I think) in an Indian restaurant that wasn't too bad. But I'd never think of ordering a beer on a night out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 104 ✭✭bluemooner


    beer is actually so good! i used to be a man for cider but i realised my wrong doings and moved onto the beer. i used to hate it when i drank cider but you kinda get over it somehow. well i did. this reply is no help. go about your business there!:confused:

    and we had a pensioners pint. probably still do i think
