That shows one of two things.
A. Either it's so bad oyu have to advertise the heck out of it. Or
B. People in America have bad taste and really don't know what good beer (or food for that matter) tastes like.

Me? I appreciate good food and good beer. But first there is wine. (Plus I love to cook.)

Everyone doesn't like the same things,just because  YOU don't like it doesn't mean it's not a good beer.
You said your not much of a drinker,so you may

not be the best judge.

Now tell us what GOOD food tastes like,i assume it would be something THAT person enjoys eating.

Now as far as wine goes,give me boones farm or annie green springs.You know,the good stuff. ;D

You mean 'Pagan Pink Ripple'...MMmmm..good stuff....LOL....no 'mad dog 20/20'???


I grew up on 'Pagan Pink Ripple'. Ah, the memories. lol  ;D ;D ;D

LOL.....that and the 'Red' were my favorites of the $.99 wines..... 8)

These days they have something called Yagermaster.  I was offered some once.  I declined.  They say it's like taking a Valium.

Jagermeister....looks like soy sauce.  Guys I worked with drank it. Ugh.  Wine kicks my butt.  I like a good gin or vodka and tonic.

When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Double vodka on the rocks, with a twist of lime was my drink for many years ;D....Black Russian's sometimes for a real late night cocktail.... ;D..............

If only Budweiser beer was as good as Budweiser commercials.

The one I hate with a passion are the Dos Equis commercials with the most interesting man in the world.

Ain't that the truth Liz?

This isn't any type of fight. Just some good jesting back and forth about a subject that in all reality is meaningless.

Those bathtub finales for Cialas are sheer stupidity.  People got paid for that idea.

Back in the day we were young and full of vitality. A hangover was merely an unpleasant inconvenience.  When hangovers became the source of what felt like a 2-3 day death sentence it was time to begin the phase of life where one says "I'll have a cocktail with dinner".    ;D ;D ;D

I'm afraid I failed yet again.  The e-cigs worked until today when I got all stressed about my silly camera.  My local supermarket, which it walking distance from my shop sells my lovely imported cigars.  I gave in to my more base desires, walked down and bought a tin. 

Quitting smoking is impossible as long as I maintain my addiction to nicotine, which the e-cigs did.  If I really want to quit I'll have to suffer.  Perhaps one day I'll be optimistic enough to undergo suffering.  It's hard to make myself suffer.  I think, "Why suffer?  I'm gonna die anyway.  Might as well die of lung disease as anything.

I think I need a good hard kick.  Oh well.....
Always move forward. Never look back.

Mugwump

Did you know that you can re-charge your E-cig with a lessor amount of nicotine??....You can withdraw slowly by buying the lower nicotine refill bottles over a given time.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

anyway, that's how it's supposed to work... :o
