Used to be Guinness when I was home in Ireland. Drank any sort of lager or belgian beer while in England but lately I've been on a diet so I've been cutting down on the beer.
 
On the vodka instead. no mixer.
 
Snow Queen from kazakhstan is the best drink I've ever had in my life. Unfortunately can't get it in many pubs here so I end up drinking Chase. Any others I'll normally mix.

Love the section in dunnes/tesco which stores the likes of Erdinger, Paulaner, Tiger Beer, etc.
Always check there to see what is on sale . Can be expensive when not on sale, but can always fall back on Tyskie

They were\are doing 4 x Franziskaner for 5 euro in Lidl.

Tasty German beer and great value.

He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

I think Franziskaner is a far nicer Wheat Beer than Erdinger.

Most definately have to agree with that, I also have a particular liking for Curim Gold from O'Haras, and at 4 fo €10 in my local off licence its hard to resist.

i had one when i came down off the volcano in hawaii and it tasted like the greatest beer i ever had, tried it again recently... what AM said.
 


Coincidentally had it for the first time in Hawaii as well,delicious drink with a slice of orange in it.

Was told its lovely to mix half in half with Guinness,called a Dark Side Of The Moon,i was suspicious but it was very nice

Last time i had one in Ireland was in Dublin airport but they dont seem to have it anymore.

Last couple of years I tend to sample different types of beer on a night out or at home. 
So if go from a Guinness to a smithwicks to an IPA or whatever they have, maybe even a bulmers. 
In the offo is I am getting say 8 bottles then I'll probably go for like 2 tyskie, 2 IPA, 2 pale ale and 2 paulaner. 
Kind of find it boring to just stick to the same drink and not saviour the different flavours

How many beers can you mix before getting sick?  I drink Guinness for the first few pints then switch to Carlsberg.  I sometimes get woeful hangovers by doing this.

People say "Do you not get worse hangovers changing drinks?" but I don't think so if it's just different types of beer. Now mixing beer with wine or spirits it feels like someone is drilling holes in me skull the next day 

Cultural alcoholic LOL

Depends where im drinking, I love my pint of Guinness but wouldnt dream about ordering it in some premises in which case id just settle on a pint of lager, heading out for meals and stuff the odd g&t (none of these fancy ones) just a cdc cork gin and schweps tonic in a slim jim glass and perhaps a glass of merlot with my meal. 
time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it.

Lager with meals only for me.  Guinness is rank with food.  All the gastropubs have deals with pictures of steak or burger and chips or something with a pint of Guinness for say 15 euro.  Guinness has to be consumed on its own.

Food makes Guinness taste rank.
