Beer or Wine??

[OzMike]

I drink beer me.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Where's the option for both?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Probably an age thing. I only drank beer through my 20s when I went out every night. In to my mid 30s, when work took over precedence and I stayed at home more, I started to drink red wine at home - got to a stage where I drank a bottle of red every night at home, probably at least 5 years of doing that.

At the end I knew I wasn't enjoying it and being made redundant in early '09 gave me the boost to succesfully wean myself off. After that my kidneys failed - not related, I only had 1 anyway, and that was on its' way out.

Now, I drink almost nothing as I'm on dialysis and can only drink 1 litre of anything in a day (inc,uding water etc.), so now, alcoholic drinks ate rare, but as quantity is a problem, if I want a drink, a G&T is reasonable.

So, unless I get a kidney transplant - not going to happen for at least 3 years as I also had bowel cancer last year - that's pretty much it for me for drinking anything interesting !

P.ps. i'm typing this while doing a dialysis session

Beer, wine tastes like piss

Very much this although I do like champagne for some strange reason.

Brunettes all day long.

Blondes get dirty quicker

Wine. Anyone who thinks that wine lacks variety clearly knows nothing and their vote is invalid.

I could never start on wine or a short never, it doesnt seem right, there is something quite satisfying about the 'bloatedness' of beer that I seem to enjoy.

However as I get older I am becoming fed up with beer sometimes and would love to find a brilliant short or a wine that I could really really enjoy instead of beer.

I have tried to upscale my bottle of wine experience with an £8.00 bottle and usually I am quite disappointed and vodka just seems a tramps drink, so I guess I am stuck with beer, but it has to 5% minimum.

Blondes get dirty quicker

Everybody knows...
Brunettes are fine, man
Blondes are fun
But, when it comes to getting the dirty job done,
It takes a red-headed woman.

im thinking that those voting wine are excluding themselves from whisky and bourbons, those voting beer are only excluding themselves from brandy. clearly a distinct advantage for beer.

i dont know where other spirits sit, we'll have to evaluate case by case.

One thing ive noticed about Czech beers, is that I dont seem to get a hangover, im guessing because of the strict laws surrounding it. Wine on the other hand, without fail, makes me feel like shit the next day, every time.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Tough choice, but wine for me. Don't get me wrong I love beer, but when I do encounter what I consider to be an exceptionally good wine it delivers a drinking experience that cannot be matched even by the best of beers.

Would hate to give either up though.

 

[father_and_son]

Something which at 20 I never thought I could say, but I could honestly go the rest of my life without either. Indeed, any alcohol at all.

Used to be a pub landlord, which I would always describe as "drinking for a living" and although not teetotal now, I don't drink much and on the occasions I do, I could honestly be happy with soft drinks.

I guess I just got it out of my system when I was younger and the fact that I can barely remember my twenties suggests I've already had my lifetime's quota!

Would be interesting to compare the age and sex in relation to peoples vote.

 

[Dick Head]

But, what about barley wine?

 

[catfish]

Haven't drunk beer for years now, so vino for me.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Beer for me.
I don't really drink that much nowadays and if I do it's usually at the weekends. When I do drink the first few pints don't touch the sides, and I love a decent session on the ale.
I just couldn't imagine swigging that much wine

 

[BigGully]

Haven't drunk beer for years now, so vino for me.

I do partake in wine, especially at home.

But my main query is this, when you crack open a bottle of wine I assume that you finish the whole bottle irrespective of what day of the week it is, at the weekend I would be uber relaxed and quite happy after finishing the first bottle and soon be on my second bottle, wine can give me a real tired hangover, so how much do people drink of the stuff ??

I vote for more sex the older I get

 

[Geestar]

Beer. Wine for the ladies.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Only beer now, wine does my head in.......
