are you kidding me? UK better than US? Surely you jest. Our booze consumption was the whiole reason we won the revolutionary war. Brit diet: Tea and crumpets; US diet: raw squirrle meat and back country moon shine. You get your biggest and best and bring em on over and well drink you under the table. We should have a world wide battle of the tightest. Same set up as last time except we use the best drinkers from all over the country and have em go up in the olympics of drinking if you will. whatcha think?

That's an interesting site. Bookmarked for later.

And as for the beer, I'm trying but can't do it alone.

You have insulted me sir and I demand satisfaction, I would gladly take you on in any manner of drinking contest, so long as we didnt have to drink those 330ml cans of yours as beer, preferably we could consume the customary 500ml cans that my country favours. maybe you are forgetting that your country is largely populated by the descendants of UK citizens so to mock us is in fact to mock the people from whom you are descended

Obviously you have no idea what haggis is or blood, actually called black pudding. Haggis is absolutely delicious, if it is a good one with no crappy fillers.
beer, wine,voddie it don't get any better.
