But the Finn's trump all at "sprits". If you figure the population of the Japs, and the Frogs, there are only 5 million Finns! Those are some drinking mother fuckers! Now you know how they fended off the Russkies with logs and skis!

How is it that the Czech Republic isn't even in that list.
I thought they were one of the tops.
You know, with inventing pilsners and all.

The Brits diet was tea and crumpets?! Fuck sake Drunk Tank, ever heard of gin palaces? :roll: Anyway, if you guys slimmed down to our level perhaps the competition would be fair!

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.

I've tried blood/black pudding several times. The first two times, not so good - rather dried out and flavorless. The third time was the charm -nicely moist, texture was firm but resilient. The flavor was mild but evocative. It didn't really taste like "blood". Call me a fan.

Haggis? I remember seing some small boxed up ones in a shoppe in Oxford like 8 years ago I would imagine those wouldn't be very good compared to a fresh prepared/cooked one. Remember, the haggis made with the sheep stomach contents are only served/sold to the tourists! :twisted:

As for beer, NewCastle, Bass and Old Peculiar are some of my most favorite beers in the Mundo. We cannot forget Guiness.

I would have to say that in my opin, the Beglians make the best beer.
My experience with German beers is limited so the novelty factor is high for me. I have this suspicion that for me, they would top UK beers once I got to know them.

One of my most fond beer drinking experiences was drinking Pilsner Urqell in Praha, Still a Budvar virgin though...

Lots of lovely beers out there!

Malty, who knows and has seen many fat brits

Why doesn't this match the spirits and beer lists?

I think all that talk about the bad effects of alcohol is a bunch of lily-livered liver-bashing.

And rule, Britannia.

Yeah. Here's what Britain was like in 1751:

While, obviously, liquor plays the main role in liquor related liver disease mortality, I would say that availability and the advance-ness of medical treatment play almost as big a role.

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?

I'm not sure this would be a fair contest as Oggar has been proven to be able to consume more volumn than any man I have ever seen, whereas, Mr.Prick seems to have tapped into the Higgs field and is able to manipulate gravity. I have seen him most assuredly passed out and yet still standing and able to ambulate with reasonable control when all around him were prostrate upon the street.
