I've never seen better than that in any shop here, the only way to top that is if you have shop and save vouchers or something similar. I think it's a really nice beer, definitely beats Peroni for taste imo

Had 4 bottles of Peroni on Saturday evening along with my usual cans of Guinness and I was fuc*ed the next day. Never get hangovers but that Peroni left me in a bad way

How many cans of Guinness did you have and what time scale are we looking at ?

Ye peroni would blow the head of you. Consoder the moretti next time. Not as edgey.

I had one bottle of perroni along with other beers and I had a terrible hangover the next day.

I had 5 cans of Guinness lads. Never get a hangover obviously from that but the Peroni left me good for nothing the next day

You had 9 beers and a hangover. This is to be expected even if you had either 9 Guinness, 9 Peronis or any combination thereof.

Peroni is lethal for hangovers. Never drink pints of it on tap as worked in bar last year and had it on offer when took it in initially and it blew the heads off all the locals that drank there and they were well used to their beers.

had a similar experience with Peroni - a few bottles and really felt it the next day.

It does have a higher alcohol content than Moretti though

Different strokes for different folks. Certain people are senstive to sulphur dioxide, an inti-oxidizing agent added to many wines to keep them fresh, others get headaches from chemical substance found in dark grape skins. The latter will drink white wine with no effects, and suffer with red wines. If you are allergic (or have a sensitivity) to yeast, for instance, unfiltered microbrewed beer might leave you with a terrible headache. Beer or any other carbonated alcoholic beverage is absorbed much more quickly into your body. Drinking it before other alcoholic beverages will cause them to be absorbed more quickly as well.

Seems like everyone agrees Peroni is bad for giving hangovers. Corona never gives me a hangover but got fed up of it so will try Morreti

rob316 · 29-04-2020 08:47AM

Heineken gives me the worst hangovers. Awful stuff

dubstepper · 29-04-2020 08:54AM

Worse stuff for hangovers I drank was VB in Australia. Had it a couple of times and felt like I was hit by a truck.

Me too. I had a box of 12 small bottles one evening. Next day I was bollixed.

Man Vs ManUre · 29-04-2020 09:20AM

Hop House 13 is another one that gives me real bad hangover. So I’ve only drank it maybe on 2 occasions.

Find it gives me a cough and a high temperature.

Atlantic Dawn · 29-04-2020 09:36AM

Tesco
Budweiser/Carlsberg 24 for €25
Bulmers Light/Heineken/Guinness 24 for €28.

All finish Monday so guessing that's their crate deals for bank holiday weekend unless some price war breaks out.

I appreciate i've been a lightweight for a few years now due to not being able for hangovers once i got past 30 but surely its not that unusual to be hungover after drinking 12 bottles of beer? 7/8 would be around the point I would expect a hangover.

Also, when OP says he had 4 bottles are we sure we're not talking about 4 x660ml bottles that are 4 for €10 in tesco? Because 4 of them plus 5 cans of guiness is a fair amount of alcohol intake.

I don't think Peroni is any worse than any other mass market beer for hangovers and am generally not a believer in that kind of stuff. Its usually pub talk to be honest, its the same as the "i had a bad pint" or "it must have been the shots" that caused the hangover. No, you just drank way too much. Hence you are hungover, attempts to explain it away or blame the brand you were drinking is a load of rubbish IMO.

Anyway, think I posted this already but best deal on moretti at the moment is 12 for €15 in my local O' Briens. Same price peroni is when its on offer in tesco and the smaller bottles are far handier than the 660mls.

It was discussed earlier in the thread there are a few different places that brew peroni, most agree the stuff brewed in the UK is muck.

Just a quick one for those that drink bottles Coors, Heineken are having problems with supply of the boxes of 20.
Dunnes Stores & some off licence have them.

Lola_86 · 29-04-2020 11:25AM

Does anyone know the deals on guiness/carlsberg in dunnes? Cant see any online! Sometimes can work out well with the €10 off €50 vouchers!

slabs of Guinness were €30 two days ago in Dunnes. If the €25 in Lidl is nationwide it would work out the same price and probably less queueing

Definitely. 12 bottles of anything is about 7 pints. I'd wager that you'd drink 12 bottles quicker than you'd down 7 pints as well, or most people would anyway. Plus, it's 4.7% versus, say 4.3% for Guinness, so you're talking about 8 pints of Guinness, relatively speaking.

Anyone claiming they wouldn't get a hangover after 8 pints is a spoofer or a hard man.

I've drank a full case of Canadian Molson a few times and never had anything next day apart from a slightly soft head. Saying that, I generally drink 5% upwards to 9% so lower ABV beers don't do much for me. To say you are guaranteed a hangover from 8 pints is nonsense - it's all individual and related to tolerance.

Didn't say I was brand new, felt I had been drinking the night before but nowhere near something I'd describe as a hangover. Is it so hard to believe someone might be able to handle more drink than you?

That's not what I said, or even implied, but you know that.
