I (jokingly) tell folks I don't celebrate my country getting kicked out of here in 1776. . Bloomin'. Fireworks going off'till midnight. Me dog scared to death. What's to celebrate. Heard of a survey recently. Half the folks don't really know what it was about or when it was. Another third thought we separated from Virginia. I kid you not! About the same level as the understanding of 'Brexit' here then.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't invoke any more violent behaviour than any other drink. The violence comes from the inadequacy of the drinker, not the drink. I love it, and I've never hit a soul whilst, or after, drinking it. You can either handle the 'booze' or you can't. What you drink is neither here nor there... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are living in strange days. Not so Loppy. Red Bull is basically marketed as an 'Energy' drink. It is non alcoholic, but contains a lot of caffeine, sugars and other stuff. Stella Artois, is a Belgian Lager of about 4.8% ABV, which is pretty average for 'continental' beer. They don't tend to guzzle it quite the way we Brits do.. I like it.

MARDY ! I wasn't going to stand for that, and burst into tears, stamped my feet, and threw teddy out of the window. How very dare she ! LOL. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Re Stella. It's not particularly the taste I dislike. It's the amount of discarded cans laying about from chavs, the great unwashed of the area, and the mobs that hang about parks, recreation grounds, and beauty spots. Anyway, topped up my Becks quantity in readiness for tomorrow afternoon ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

woody 552 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 It is too easy to write off bad behaviour as having one syndrome or another.

loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I think you are right Trogg. Lot of money to be made here. Even if they were right. Not one of them has ever published a paper on why this is happening now and was not a big problem fifty years ago. I have no time for them. Bunch of experts and you know what they are. An ex is a has been and a spert is a drip under pressure. Lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
