1978. Lager and lime ,Pernod and blackcurrant. I've since seen the light and it's real ale and red wine. Funny old world innit?

Stella Artois (wifebeater).

Being a lanky streak of piss at 18, it didn't take too many pints to get me hammered.

Whitbread Trophy Bitter, I seem to remember, but very soon went onto lager.

Stat Brother wholeheartedly approves of this thread

Probably this, but I started young.

I used to love that. Never tasted another bitter like it. Cheers!

Toby bitter was the beverage of choice in 82/83, mainly as it was cheap.

Shepherd Neame pubs used to sell Hurlimanns Swiss lager, commonly known as hooligans, it was nice (at the time) but it was extremely strong, not sure if it is still around.
