I Just Opened My First Bottle of Guinness
 

what?

You got it in a can???

Yep, it's much better from a tap.

I didn't like beer before I tried Guinness, personally...

I personally don't like Guiness, but honestly, if you want to give it a real chance, you need a good bartender that knows how to pour a pint of it correctly. Yeah, it shoudl be illegal to have one's first Guinness canned. Get a poured one, then make your mind up. But don't try to scull it. That's asking for pain. Think of it like a meal. You almost DO need to eat a Guinness.

I think that Guinness is one of the world's most overrated beers. It's weak and lacks flavor. Granted, I've never been to Ireland, I don't really like stouts that much, and I don't really like British-Irish pub beers (Boddingtons, Belhaven, etc.) that much.

If I have to drink a mass produced British beer, I'll take a Bass every time. British Pale Ales are delicious (as are British Brown ales and IPAs.)

It took me a while to get used to it, by the third one you should like it betterhttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

It says to drink it straight from the bottle. I've never had instructions on the bottle before. Straight from the bottle??

Weird..... though I have never even been tempted to get Guiness is any bottles or cans.

It's stupid to buy alcohol anyway. Think of all the things you could better spend that money on. You're paying money to poison yourself for a short lived buzz that makes you feel like **** in the morning. Doesn't sound like getting my money's worth to me.

Slowwhand, you are just uncivilized is all http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif.

And yes, I've had Guiness in a can/bottle. It ain't bad. With the can, you just have to remember to pour it into a glass and with the bottle drink straight from the bottle. The can is better (ah, glorious widget), but the tap is best.

Let me guess, you've never felt physical pleasure before, or at least not any kind involving another person. otherwise you'd understand and not sound so foolish.

Try it ith a drop of blackcurrant to begin with..

My thought exactly, there's no head at all http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/neeschud.gif http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ons/icon13.gif

Sloww, Guiness can be real good on the can or on tap. The bottle is Extra Stout I think. It's not as smooth and creamy as a proper Guinness should be. Try the Draught or go to an Irish bar http://www.discussworldissues.com/im...ons/icon14.gif

And here's the sting in the tail. It can make you live longer too. What a gyp.

EoN...there is nothing wrong at all with drinking in moderation. I agree, people definitely overdo it and drink purely with the intention of being sh*tfaced. Personally I like a few nice beers, also acts as a nice 'social lubricant' http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

Besides, now I am off shifts I have far more tolerance to the stuff than I did. After a week of earlies, two or three beers and I was gone. The only time I drink now is when I am meeting old uni mates (twice since end-Feb, pretty poor really!

I do have the odd tipple, rarely more than 5 pints a week...

I'm guessing that you've never had a drink before (maybe you're not old enough to drink or, even worse, maybe you're Mormon http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif )

Getting a buzz doesn't make you wake up feeling like **** in the morning. Getting drunk does, but getting drunk takes effort by most people. I have to drink 12+ beers in a night to even feel a bit rough the next morning, and moore than that to truly feel like crap.

A relaxing beer or two is great any time, as is a glass of wine. A margarita at the beach on a hot and sunny day is heaven.

Hey EyesOfNight, are you a straight edger or something? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/lol.gif

Talk to any of my friends...they will tell you I certainly don't lack ability to interact with others with or without alcohol.
