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

Total Spirit Consumption is only 4.8L per person PER YEAR?!?? (in 2002).

5L will last me maybe 4 weeks at best. And that's if i'm conservative with my drinking.

Indeed. I go through about a handle a week.

Did anyone from this board get a questionaire from these people?

We may skew the curve a little bit more in the US's favor as far as booze goes.

They have priorities straight:

British men have been found twice as likely to know the price of their beer as their partner's bra size. A poll reported in Britain's Prima magazine found that 77% of males knew how much their beer costs but only 38% knew the correct size of ther mate's bra.

Dude, you just gave me the most brilliant idea - the MDM Board Olympics!

I'm thinking up events as we speak, so far i've got ideas for the decathlon, the short distance races (100m, 200m, 400m, 4x100m), and i'm working on the rest. Any suggestions?

Time out! I'm not sure this running fad will catch on... maybe 100oz, 200oz, etc.

The sprint races wouldn' involve any physical exertion, fear not. They'd be fastest time to drink a set quantity of beer - say a can for the 100, 2 cans for the 200, 4 cans for the 400? And th 4x100 would be you and 3 buddies in a relay fashion

Decathlon would be 10 drinks, you make them, take a pic and drink them. Then an esteemed judge (i'm thinking Barca) would award points for each round on a variety of criteria, highest total score at the end would win. Or we could do it like the proper decathlon if we can figure out how to do all the constituent events.

A barrel of malt, a bushel of hops, you stir it around with a stick,
the kind of lubrication to make your engine tick.
40 pints of wallop a day will keep away the quacks.
Its only eight pence hapenny and one and six in tax, 1 2 3 4 5


Oh got distracted with all this beer talk
