warfare: beer vs wine

I think that was the point? :)

If there was some correlation between power and beer drinking we would be a more powerful nation today than 400 years ago. And we're clearly not.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I'd rather drink beer in peace than fighting wars against our neighbours. :beerwave:

Absolut Vodka is a crap product with very successful marketing. Tastes like gasoline... No matter what you mix it with, you can still taste that chemical tang.

i like your chemical vodka, it must be eating all that grated puffin or fermented basking shark or the seal flippers leaving the bad taste in your mouth..lol try boru vodka its irish... n dont start on about the irish milk stout only they could burn beer n then sell it world wide.

p.s. once more unto the romans i have a theory in relation to the early temporary successes the romans had over the beer drinking tribes...they just hadnt perfected the brewing techniques back then.. look what happened when they did rome was sacked n i dont mean one weeks pay or a gold watch.


other minor blips on the beer drinkimg radar could also but put down to the import export trade beer drinking nations experimenting with wine,vodka etc and vice versa...:party::beerwave:

And gin. And cider. And rum for goodness sake.

Never let facts get in the way of a good theory eh?

other minor blips on the beer drinkimg radar...
Centuries of being dominated is a minor blip? You so need to go into PR, this ability shouldn't be wasted.


WTF? Canada is 19th? I can't do this thing by myself people!

Speaking of mighty nations, I believe Sweden's Prime minister is the current president of the European Council. Being the representative of the whole EU... Not much about bloody battles and axes but that must have some weight! :D

I'm trying man. But I am still getting over the application process to live in Canada. Did you know that all applicants have to drink four cases of Rickard's red and punch out a moose? That's tough to do!

There's canned fermented herring. Really nasty! Then, down south they have a soup made of goose blood. Haven't tried that, but it's not very tempting... Then there's the dumplings they make up north by mixing wheat flour and reindeer blood.

I don't think there's something wrong with Absolut Vodka! I like Smirnoff much better though but Absolut beats the cheaper brands. Explorer Vodka is just home-brew in bottles with an ugly sticker.

You can certainly find vodka that is even worse than Absolut, but that doesn't make Absolut a good vodka. Smirnoff is a lot better, as you say, and there's a lot of other brands that are better than Absolut.

The worst vodka I've ever tasted was some cheap Russian vodka I bought at a petrol station for about 7 SEK for half a litre in Estonia in 1993. It made you wonder if you'd go blind...

vodka

absolut isnt so bad keep it in the deep freeze until it goes all thick n gooey. smirnoff blue's about the best i've tried. john smiths is the best beer in the world none of your "probably" about it.

if you want to try something different try plum or goat milk potch if you can get it( irish moonshine hence illegal), the goats milk stuff tastes a little like baileys only with a punch that can put shuttles into orbit. the irish could have been one of the worlds great nations if they had stuck to beer instead they went mad drinking the potch/rocket fuel and wrestling each other in the boggs while the world past them by.what proof say you, well i have yet to meet a bogtrotter who can walk away from a bar, they usually end up crawling away or being carried, bit like native americans no tolerance for alcohol at all:beerwave:

goose blood with herring yummy no wonder the vikings ate out a lot

yeah got one of these in tetra-pack from a friend when i had my 30th birthday, 2,5L cost like 40sek. tasted like gasolin but hey it really made the trick at least :D

cant honestly feel much of a differance between vodka and smirnoff and all that shitt. all i know ia that tequila is very much a no-go.

yeah he's the man. i hope he's never coming home.:curse!:

People who like tequila usually say that there are really good ones if you know where to look. Might be true. All I know is that all tequila I've tasted have been disgusting. Another thing I'm not keen on trying again is saké. Give me a whisky and I'm happy!
