with alcohol, if you like drinking (and I do) the trick is not to quit altogether (unless you really are having bad health problems) but if you are in England, stop drinking cheap bulk lager. I can see why to a young person a cheap 24 pack of Stella is appealing, but it is rank stuff. the Belgians would not drown a slug in it, they would think it is cruel. In this country rather than correctly store it (“lager” actually means the cellar the barrels are put in) chemicals are put in to it. it is these what make you feel ill, not beer in itself.
I will just about tolerate Carlsberg and Heineken is OK (though has disappeared from Asda here) but I am suspcious as to whether what Sinner gets and what I get are the same (perhaps he knows) – this is rarely the case even with popular foreign brands.
If you feel you are “too young” for bitter (it is not as bad as you might think), golden ale is nearest to lager and good for summer. For instance fullers organic honedew is a good’un, thers is that badger golden ale but its sold out here – should still be available in SE England. Gaz knows his ale BTW…
Also purchasing ale in 0.5l bottles means the physical bulk of these limits how much you can carry (and subsequently drink) at any one time (also you get exercise hauling them around).
The Carlsberg sinner gets is different imo, I could drink that all night and feel fine the next day (this doesn’t apply to other drugs though :laugh_at:). They also sell it in small cans what might help, but I was thinking at the time, that the danish version of carlsberg was probably the best larger in the world. hardy har har. Na I actually did think it was different to the stuff over here, but pushed the thoughts aside as I though I might just be being paranoid. I defiantly noticed a difference to how I felt the next day though.
They sold this “organic beer” at shambala, it took me half a pint to get used to (I adapt quick to beer :laugh_at:). It cost like £4.50 what’s expensive, but compared to £5 at a commercial festival, and the fact that it got me pissed after just 3 pints, and a really nice happy pissed, rather then a groggy pissed (this is after 2/3 days of hard drinking, substance use) it’s well worth it.
I used to go to a pub called the queen vic (no GL not the one in eastenders :P), it’s in beeston in nottingham. It housed guest ales, largers and ciders from across the globe. They would, for example, buy 3 barrels of a home brew cider from a german farm in the middle of nowhere. Man some of the ciders were LETHAL! Pushing double figure % and didn’t taste like petoral, as it would if you were to buy an 8.4% can of K cider from your local petoral station (my closest shop is actually a petoral station that sells K cider, what I find quite ironic).
It’s a completely different high though man, totally natural! 😉
Some of the chemicals they put in cans are fucking nasty, look at the label of K cider and Google every ingreadiant you don’t know of. Most are rotten, nasty chems.
It’s not even recognised by the cider comunity … http://www.real-cider.co.uk/ciders-not-recognised-as-being-real/ !!!!
Although I do remeber a very pissed guy at a squat party in stratford once tellnig me how he belived it was the best strong cider out there cos “you can taste the fucking apples” :laugh_at:
