Now, THAT'S what I'd call damaging to the reputation of us Scousers.

But no one bats and eyelid at professionals across the land who regulary have whiskey throughout the day and then sink a bottle of wine once home.

Oh yeah, I still go out more often than once a month or whatever :laugh:

But I dont actually LIKE the taste of alcohol. So I drink pop when I dont wanna be pissed. I cant imagine anyone liking the taste of alcohol tbh, especially lager/beer/cider D:

As long as you buy 8 or so cans on the way, like.

As for alcohol not tasting nice ... balls to that. Few things are nicer than a good Guiness.

Madness. It's a delicious beverage. Pulled in a good pub mind you. No watered down club nonsense or cans or bottles. That's heresy.

Guiness is super easy to drink, tastes great, is just about the right strength, and is a proven source of iron.

It also has this odd tendancy to wake my body up at 6 or 7 the next morning feeling fresh as a daisy. If I go back to sleep I have awfully strong dreams because of the sudden influx of proper REM sleep.
