Guinness. I do. Idont?

sidneykidney · 2008-02-11 01:44:04

Hi folks was just down in the pub tonight,and i noticed a lot of people there drinking Guinness. I was just wondering what do the people of AH drink on a night out. I myself drink Guinness and enjoy it,so i guess what i am really asking is how many people still enjoy a pint of the black stuff on a night out?

Guinness if it's a quiet one. If not then it's Carlsberg before moving on to the vodkas/jaegers and red bull. Bourbon and Coke as well

Same idea, different beer over here now. Had my first decent Guinness in a year there on Friday! Impossible to find. Tasted so damn good.

I drink Guinness... too bad it's invariably a sh*t pint almost anywhere you go in Dublin these days... so I usually change to something else once I've tested how crap it is.

Doesn't that make you go a bit mental? Or in your case, more mental?

For pints I prefer Heineken. However, I much prefer just to have a JD and coke, though I plough through them quick enough on a night out.

i used to be heavy on the drink, then i gave up about six months ago (i'm only 15 )...

I was never a man to turn down any drink back then and drank guinnes if it was given to me in the middle of a forest (because yah' can't get served in pubs these days if your under18)

Dutch Gold was the main drink tho, because it was cheap and it did the job!

No no, you can't get served in a pub if you're 15.

Also, you joined Boards when you were 12?

no guinness for me.

I've been drinking bud since I started drinking..... I think it's time to change, bud destroys my stomach.

I always get a bottled alternative (say heineken), and think "hey this is pretty easy to drink compared to bud!" and then go back to pints of bud afterwards. Makes no sense. From now on it'll be anything except bud.

I'll drink Guinness if produced in Ireland, but not if produced in the UK or Canada. It just doesn't taste as good for some reason.

I developed a passionate hatred for Guinness when I worked in my local pub during school holidays.

In all my 38 years the only time I've ever drunk a pint of it was when I was bringing an English friend around to do the James' Gate tour and we got a token each.

I hate the bloated, yeasty feeling you get from consuming a couple of pints of any beer/porter/lager.

Yeah I still prefer a pint of Guinness, I dont mind lager the odd time either but cider makes me sick.
I have to say though more places in Dublin are getting bad for a nice Guinness, I think it's the way they pour it, they're just too lazy to do it right or they dont know how.

Usually Guinness, but only if I'm in a pub that I know serves good Guinness. Probably Bud otherwise.

Yet another completely stupid and idiotic poll.

Either you drink Guinness or you drink everything except Guinness or you don't drink anything at all?

What about people who only drink wine or lager or gin, for instance?

:rolleyes:

Yep, I love me a nice pint o' Guinness!

Other than that I'd drink Heineken if I'm impatient or if the bar has foul pints of guinness.

While on your rant you forgot to mention the BW&S forum to put the 'stupid and idiotic' poll.
