Being for the benefit of several Gentlemen and Ladies of society &c. My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen. For your edification and delectation, in just a few seconds’ time, the Great Jimbo shall now attempt to perform a near-impossible feat. They said it couldn’t be done. Today he intends to prove them wrong… Without safety net or protective clothing, the Great Jimbo will attempt to post to the SDMB **while drinking from a can of beer**. Could I please ask for complete silence from the audience. I ask all patrons to restrain their children and servants during this very dangerous feat. Drums please. Oh, and he’s done it! A remarkable performance, using, as you will see, the “Heineken” brand of beer. My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen, today you have witnessed something truly unique and remarkable. From this day onwards, you will be able to look your peers in the eye and say: “I was there”. I thank you. ---

I have a bottle of green label Jack. I may take you up on that offer. However, I believe this thread is dedicated to beer. ---

Clare tomorrow. > [@](#): > > **You live in the city that gives us Guinness and you’re swilling Heineken?** While I love Guinness, it has a somewhat unfortunate effect on the bowels. It’s also a meal in itself, and I prefer something a bit lighter to accompany the pizza I’m about to eat. ---

Yes sir. I do believe that Newcastle is the best beer ever made. I’m enjoying one now. ---

Well I had my last Becks and I have to get an early night. It was actually meant to be my second-last Becks, but my wife is something of a beer lover too, and stole the other one from me. :mad: I forgive her though, since I would that she experience too the pleasure I gain from the amber nectar. 😃 ---

In my downstairs fridge is a keg of ESB. When I’m done with that, there will be a German Alt. When I’m done with that…a Belgian Trippel for the cold winter (making that this week) Homebrew…yum! ( the beer, not the poster…although I’m sure he’s a cool dude 😉 ) ---

Newcastle is quite easily available here (thank God) although it runs about 10 bucks for a six-pack with florida taxes… I’m on a keystone light. ---

Amber Bock here, Cheers all. And I agree with **jjimm** , Guinness, while good stuff, is the beer that eats like a meal, you need to prepare for a night o’guinness, it’s not a casual type beer. And hey **beagledave** , I see I’m only a couple hours away. With beers like that, I may be raidin’ your fridge, so don’t mind the noise. 😃 ---

It’s Sunday. I live where you can’t buy beer at the grocery store, and most of the state stores and six-pack places are closed on Sunday. No beer for me. ☹ ---

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: 1. You’re extremely reasonably priced. 2. You taste pretty good too. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-drinking-beer-thread/192741.md?page=2)
