I just realized it's now socially unacceptable for people to use thier personal knowledge in public. All questions are answer by saying google it.
My question is are we going to be a nation of douches??
-
The comment Google it is generally used by those who do not know the answer and do not think that knowing stuff is useful.
-
I get more the impression they don't want to bother answering it . Ex. Bartender not answering beer questions
-
They do not want to answer it, because although they realize they should know the answer they do not.
I have won several bets from guys who were convinced that Heineken was the "best German beer".
It might be the best, but German is is not and never has been.
Well, maybe the Germans had a hand in it during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands...
The best selling German beer in the US is Becks. As for what is BEST, that is a matter of taste. The stuff from a keg they ship over for Oktoberfest is among my favorites.
My own personal favorite is Moosehead, from New Brunswick. But Pabst and Yuengling are also okay.

i`m evil I look for the sissiest beer. lembeck beer taste just like fruit juice. it`s very hated by serious beer drinkers but the non serious beer drinking ladies love it.
-
Lembeck? I have never heard of it.
-
Fruit based beer from belgium. Also called kruek
-
Fruit based beer sounds strange. But I have never tried it.
I was told that smoking fruity stuff from a hookah was fabulous, one of life's great pleasures.
I tried it when invited by a Syrian Christian guy I met in Quito named George, at a hookah bar in the Mariscal district.
I was not impressed, It was better than eating an apricot previously dunked in an ashtray, but to similar to for me to enjoy.

That website is a real hoot.
Fortified wines are the fastest, cheapest and most convenient way to get smashed, it is true.
When I was in high school, there was a local wino who would purchase booze for kids. He recommended Sweet Lucy, which was pink and sweet, and told you to watch out for Sneaky Pete, which was green and offered a second drunk if you drank some water after the first has worn off.
Apparently Ripple has been discontinued, and with it, the possibility of the mixed drink known as Thunderipple.
At least legally. There are those that economize by making "squeeze" out of Sterno, which you have to remove the wood alcohol from to avoid it making you blind.
I have heard of Lysol spray as an inexpensive drunk.
There was a vile cheap tequila named Tres Magueyes. You knew you had enough when you could count six magueyes on the label.
It was the tequila that you bought to reward the mariachis with when you got drunk and went to serenade your novia and all her neighborhood at 3:00 AM. It cost about 90¢ for half a liter.
I can drink a small amount of hard liquor, not even enough to make me feel any effect and the next day, I have no energy at all. So mostly I stick to beer and wine.
I like Malbec, an Argentine wine which is never bad.

I heard of a kenyan beer my friend had that make you blind for an hour. The guy gave it to him said its harmless. I have limits though. My friend never drank again

That sounds like this, from 1961:
Kenya: Kill Me Quick
Friday, Mar. 24, 1961
TIME
Among Nairobi's Africans, who judge an alcoholic beverage not by its taste but its kick, the most popular brew for the past 13 years has been a potion known as KMQ (Kill Me Quick), a throat-burning mixture of surgical spirits and methyl alcohol. Invented by a burly Luo tribesman named Akumu Onyiego, KMQ was precisely named: less than two pints of the stuff is a lethal dose.
The Kenya Legislative Council banned the sale of KMQ. But despite the threat of stiff fines, Akumu kept brewing, and despite the scores of stiffs found, Nairobi kept drinking. Akumu got to be a wealthy man. He acquired five wives, a flashy Opel sedan, three rambling houses.
Last week, in celebration of his great fortune, Akumu threw a little blast for 40 friends. He broke out the best in the house—a brand-new keg of uncut methyl alcohol, a volatile liquid most often used for boosting aircraft takeoffs. When the party was over, ten of the revelers were permanently blinded. Eight others, including Akumu Onyiego, were dead.
------------------------------------------
Later, Kill Me Quick was the title of a novel.

I was with a Mexican friend once, driving through the mountains of Morelos. We stopped at a small store out in the middle of nowhere for a soda. While we were there, chatting with the owner, a local peasant came up and put three pesos on the counter without saying anything. The owner filled two shot glasses, one with something clear and another with something brownish. He drank the clear stuff first, and followed it with the the brownish stuff. I said that this looked like the wrong order, so the owner poured me two glasses as well, It turns out that the clear stuff was close to pure alcohol, and the other was some sort of swamp water chaser that sort of restired your ability to breathe. One shot will give you a buzz, two will cause you to see double and three would knock most people out.

I inow a guy who drank the goop that formed on the bottom of grain silos it supposed to get you drunk for days. He warn dont do it too much it tends to cause kidney failure.
It think its used for cattle feed maybe
-
I know that cattle can get drunk on silage.
I imagine that there would be a lot of insecticides and other unhealthful crap in silage.
I have never found being drunk to be in any way enjoyable.
-
I got a bad habit of picking fight with homeless people when I'm drunk. It kinda bothers my coworkers at the law firm I used to work in.
-
Booze make my head spin, vomit and fall asleep and wake up feeling horrible. I think it only took three drunken parties for me to reach this conclusion.
To me, whiskey tastes vile. Bourbon tastes like silage smells and Scotch tastes the same way, only with the additional taste of iodine.
People told me "you have to work a taste for this". To which I say, WHY?
-
Huh? Me too
I was told to keep at it also.
I did not heed thier wise advice thought and sticked to non carb fruit juice .
-
I was told that carrots would improve my eyesight. So I ate a lot of carrots. My eyesight was unchanged. The net result was that I got to hate the taste of carrots, and laid off eating them for three years. Noew I eat them because they are orange, and make my salads look tastier, just as red peppers do.
-
Im sometimes easy to influence. I once read a book which carrot juice was like a drug which people got super addicted and I been drinking it alot more ever since
