I'm more of a vodka drinker...I prefer mixed drinks to beer...not that I'm much of a wine drinker, but I also like a nice 2002 Santa Rita Merlot now and then...helps enhance the experience of Ponpoko geting all those little fruits and vegetables...

Why didn't you just say you were Fruity McFartknocker the effeminate crossdresser transsexual and just be done with it?  :D

Corona is about $65 for 24 full price, sometime can get it for $50 on special.

A six pack is about $20

Compare that to whiskey which usually is, depending on brand, anywhere between $25-$35 for a 700ml bottle.

Local beer (eg Tooheys New) is around $25 a case of 24 350ml bottles but I much prefer the Corona Extra.

Holy Mary Mother of God what is the conversion rate from Aussie to US cause we are paying like $20 for a case of bottles

I was about to comment that Corona cost about $6.50 a sixer around here, and that's too much too pay for the stuff AFAIC. ;)

Do Aussies really drink Fosters, or is it a sham proliferated by the Outback Steakhouse Corporation

I'll stick with Guinness from a tap, thank you.  The little 'whizzer' balls in the can never seem to do it justice.

I've settled for the cans while camping, but I did get laughed at for sitting around a campfire with a beer glass because I refuse to drink beer from a can.

I'll settle for Yuengling, or some Sam Adams in a pinch.  I'm a bit of a beer snob.

Liquor and me don't get along too well since that senior trip to Cancun.  There may still be vomit stains on the wall at the hard rock cafe.

Reminds me of a joke.

The CEOs from Budweiser, Coors, Miller, and Guinness go out to a bar. The waitress comes over and takes their drink order.

The Bud Man orders a Bud Light.
The Coors Man orders a Coors Light.
The Miller Man orders a Miller Lite.
The Guinness Man orders water.

The other three look at him and the Miller Man says "how come you didn't order a Guinness?"

And the Guinness Man says "Well, if you guys aren't gonna drink beer than neither am I."
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

Not to get to far from the subject but has anyone come up with some good drinking games with their cabinet.

My cab isn't done yet but we do this with the xbox at partys. We use small glasses of beer to prolong the game and usually stick to fighting games and driving games. Twisted metal black is great for this.

When I play vids by myself I drink VODKA.
They treated me like an animal and that's what I became.

I play alone... with nobody else.  You know when I play alone I prefer to be by myself.

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer.

Drinking games...
Well perhaps not. Back when I was in college (12 years ago), we would watch Star Trek. We would come up with a phrase of the day..."Make it so number one", Or things as stupid as the ship com sounds... Deep boop boop.
When ever the phrase of the day would come up, it was bong hits for everyone. Sad were the days when they would go off the ship on some planet and there were no noises. It was a favorite game for us trek nerds.

Just for the record, seeing as our government is fond of spying on it's folks. I no longer use such substances nor have I for many years.

If I'm in front of one of my cabinets I'm chugging down the barley pop.  Doesn't matter if I'm playing or not.  Hey I don't care if the machine is even turned on.

It all depends.....

Sometimes I like a nice glass of wine (or 2) with my games.

This is something I need to know too, for when mine is finished.  Soon.  Did wood filler today.  Strange stuff that.  It will stick just about anything except the spot you want to fill.
