I have to disagree. It's not good - but it's still just about managing to be fun. Amongst a couple of other things this is something I need to knock on the head though.....
Tea on the other hand is awesome - and satisfying. I'm building the strength to leave the booze behind. Nearly there. Nearly there.

I was also drinking water a few minutes back, but my fridge has a filter on it, so tap water no longer tastes like a combination of metal, mud, sweat, and an aftertaste of harmful chemicals.
Although the water round where I live now almost made me appreciate how much better good ol' UK Council pop actually is. Seriously I though the water in England was crap, until I tasted the tap water here.....Jeez!
Anybody tried Brothers cider? I picked up 6 cans for £5.99 last week from local cheapy B&M's shop. They do quite few nice flavors. I brought strawberry and cream flavor and I've literally necked them like pop, they have a really nice and fruity taste. They had 6 cans of parma violet flavor too which I'm gonna try next.
Russian standard seems to get a bad rap, but I think it’s alright. Strangely enough I found Russian standard gold to be the best one, the platinum isn’t as good as the gold.
I started drinking it as the shop i go to ran out of Southern Comfort, it's better than the Glen's vodka which tastes like paint stripper and is favoured by jakies :)):)):))
Does Lynx still exist? Next you'll be saying Goldmine, Baltic, or Viborg Pils…..All of which I pounded a lot of when I was probably too young to legally drink ;)
EDIT: Oh I forgot Martens as well.....Which weirdly enough made it's way to the USA a few years back, years after I'd seen it in the UK......I almost bought some for a laugh, and nostalgia, but it was $10.99. Given at the time I'd drink that crap with the exchange rate it would've been $5 at the most, given the weaker exchange rate these days it should cost about $3.25 at the very, very, most.
I obviously passed on it, not paying enough money to buy a 6 pack of sh*t beer, and a sh*t pizza, for a 4 pack of well really sh*t beer :))
I used to quite like Lynx as well, kind of glad it's still out there tbh :))
It's crap, but it was £2.50 for 4 cans when I was about 17 or 18, which was way better than blowing a fiver on shite like Stella, or Boddington's which are also shite, and should never have cost that much in the first place.
Searching for those other ones I mentioned it's a mixed bag Viborg Pils seems to have been erased from existence, as does Goldmine, which was taken off the market apparently for being dodgy in about 1998, the guy at one of my local corner shops told me that as well. It was weird though Goldmine was almost trippy when you drank it, kind of like oldskool Special Brew before they removed the Valarium Root extract from it, after about 3 or 4 cans it got that weird everything turns purple kind of buzz from it even though it was only about 5%, that kind of edge usually only comes from European beers in the 7%-9% in my experience.
As for Baltic, well I didn't even search to see if that stuff is still around it was really bad, but also just a couple of quid, truly the worst of a bad bunch though :))
Speaking of cheap lagers, what about Skol. I remember seeing this at every house party or barbecue etc back in the 90's. It was very cheap to buy in a multipack of about 18, could of been 24 cans from Morrison's. I used to search out a bottle of woodpecker and mix 50/50 with the Skol and make snakebites. I can still remember one party I was only about 16/17, I drunk a lot of snakebites, I woke during the night and was quite ill to say the least. It was my first night of "god I'm not drinking alcohol again", and had my first proper hang over the next day. :))

£2.30 for a four-pack from Morrisons. Don't think I've ever drunk a drop of it, and at 2.8% don't think I ever will :))
Skol is one of those beers that makes you piss every 5 minutes when you’re drinking it, then takes you straight to the hangover. Almost as bad as Kestrel. I remember when I was well and truly broke I used to buy a slab of Kestrel for 8 or 9 quid from the local Kwik Save. Don’t know why it only used to last about 2 days.
I remember Kestrel fondly....probably because it was underage drinking.

I'm drinking Smirnoff.
Yeah that's the plug for my oven, the guy that fitted it was 20 stone, stank of kebabs/onions and had the personality of Donald Trump, i wanted him out as soon as possible. And yes, it is a bit wonky :))

But I’m thinking about the frosty cans of Voodoo Ranger I have in the fridge at home. Just 2 and a half hours to go...
Anyone ever tried Russian Standard vodka?

For the past couple of years, it began the craze of "spiced Rum", I just can't find regular rum anywhere... I really hate this spicy crap they sell.
That fuse box needs sorting out...I don't have an OCD, well I don't think I have, but that is annoyingly just wonky enough...
...and Black Sheep, a lovely bottle of Black Sheep Ale with a nice Cap'n Morgan and Pepsi chaser.

Quite enjoy the pear flavor of these. Very refreshing served in a glass with ice.
