All drunks think they're being entertaining and funny, but people who engage in moderate social drinking (as opposed to getting arseholed every night for the sake of it) tend to find them tedious and irritating, and not at all amusing. Tedious, irritating and not at all amusing you say? You have saved me a job in finding the most apt words to describe your contributions to this newsgroup. Too ****ed to find your own words, are you? I would try again on Sunday when you've sobered up - providing you can stay off the booze on Saturday, that is. On second thoughts, cancel that comment - it won't happen. Wrong again - I have not touched a drop all night. Try again at 0100 - you may have more luck. So you will have to have your fix of alcohol then?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I will probably have a few tonight - not that it is any business of yours of course. You have of course made it the business of everyone who reads this newsgroup. Have you noticed - not one person has said how sensible your drinking habits are? Not even those you probably count as friends. |

Yes, it is all about blood alcohol concentration and not about units per day. On the day you drank a pint an hour, you found that you did not even get tipsy despite drinking 24 units a day. See what rubbish the recommended limit are? -- Simon Mason |

See what rubbish the recommended limit are? The recommended limits are not about staying sober. They are about preventing damage to the bodily organs. Any alcoholic worth his salt can drink amounts which would deck a normal person and still show few signs of intoxication. |

Many people are only worth sodium chloride, whatever alcohol they consume, just check their larder. |

Yes, it is all about blood alcohol concentration and not about units per day. I've yet to check the reference. There could be some validity in what you say as for a lunchtime session, one would probably not wish to exceed the "daily allowance" or ration if one wished to retain full capability at work. On the day you drank a pint an hour, you found that you did not even get tipsy despite drinking 24 units a day. See what rubbish the recommended limit are? Don't forget to drink a glass of water before and after each of those two bottles of beer. Perhaps the government should repeal the law which protects us from watered beer, it'll all be so simple if all you could buy is Tesco's 2% ABV lager. Of course you will be paying £1.50 a can for it instead of 29p I don't think it's an idea that will catch on myself. |

Any beer that is less than 3% is not classed as an alcoholic beverage anyway, IIRC. And I thank goodness I do not live in Scotland where cheap multibuy options are illegal as I can get some good beers for 1.50 a litre, which is still a rip off when you come to think about it. Beer is 96% water with a few weeds chucked into it, but petrol is cheaper and that is a finite resource that has to be located, extracted, transported and refined. -- Simon Mason |

With a bit of luck, the water they use will be good and pure, The malt will have been well converted from barley and the hops will remain fragrant. There is a general desire to have clarity in our brew, so boiling of the wort is essential to satisfy this and packaging requirements. It takes more time and energy, it is a production cost which cannot be ignored. Bottling at a remote location is in itself a wasteful procedure and local bottling at the point of sale is a much more satisfactory and economical procedure, inclding returnable containers. It would make more sense if you bought your beer by the keg. Many breweries now do the small 50l kegs and you could run two or three without problem, A small chest freezer can be used to keep them cool in the summer, just turning it on for an hour (timeswitch) about three hours before you need the beer. |

The top half fridge bit is laden with Indian pickles, chutneys, mustards and canned and bottled beers, so the keg idea would need a separate chest freezer. -- Simon Mason |
