Now drinking...

I'm currently tasting the entire Sam Adams catalogue tonight, AWESOME! I'm about to try a Winter lager.... hopefully it meets me expectations. Also, my parents brought me some Grolsch(?) and De Koninck from Amsterdam. Definitely entirely different from American beer. Good times, good times.

I already told you; there is no reason to buy Grolsch. It might be 5,0%, I dunno. Either way, it's significantly more expensive than more common Swedish lagers that taste the same or better and are slightly stronger.

Sounds like the Coronas, Heinekens, Becks, Amstels, etc found around here. Widely available, mildly expensive, and suck.
 
Heineken really isn't that bad, man. I think the USA Heineken is a different formula... infact my brother and I immedietly agreed when we were trying it. The actual Dutch stuff tasted fuller and boozier, but maybe we're wrong. In any case, I like it. Not cream of the crop, but there's MUCH worse.
 
Erik said:
Exactly. People buy them because they want something slightly better than Bud or Miller, and I guess they get "slightly better", but if you want a better beer then why not just fucking pay a few more coins and get something that's actually good?

Exactly.

Heineken probably isn't that bad if you're just out to get loaded, but for that purpose I'll just have my Zeunerts and Falcon and Åbro and Three Hearts (7,5% and doesn't taste like shit while being affordable :kickass: ) and other mediocre Swedish beers instead.

Awesome!

Just for the record, let's remember that I'm 17 and not able to buy my own brew. I'll take what I can get. When there's Miller Lite and Heineken in the house, I'll take the Heineken, thanks very much.
 
Yeah... 18 Molsons will get you fucking tanked, but don't you get the worst, most hellish hangover of all time? Personally if I had to take 18 drinks, I'd definitely have some whiskey to reduce the after-morning-hell-factor.

no, cause I always know ahead of time i'll be doing something like that and I'll drink lots of water beforehand, and usually try to have somebefore I sleep. And even if I do have a bad hangover... meh, i'll fill up a water bottle, drink that while I shower and feel fine afterwards.
 
hey i like Grolsch! Beck's is a better lager, but i wouldn't consider it swill like Heineken. i'm not a huge lagerhead though so maybe i'm just talking out my butt.

with regards to whisky hangovers yes they can obviously be fierce, but nothing is worse than a cheap beer hangover. if you drink a 12er of Chudweiser not only will you only manage a small buzz, you'll feel like complete shit the next day. one night i drank a 32oz. of Bud Dry (don't ask me why), didn't get a buzz, but wanted to beat my head against a wall the next day. bullshit!

anyhow, lots of water and tea were on my drinking menu today. :loco:
