As opposed to the piss that is Bud??
I haven't heard of, let alone experienced, warm beer since I was able to drink! Mind you, I mostly go for spirits....
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

A lot of Americans feel that if a drink doesn't have ice cubs in it, it's room temperature, and it usually is because most of them don't have cool/cold cellars. Also most of the U.S. is below the UK in latitude and is much warmer, both above and below ground. Anyone who has hoisted a pint in England knows that the ale/lager is cool and refreshing.
Also piss-pot Budweiser is such an execrable excuse for beer that it has to be drunk cold, and the colder the better, so the temperature numbs the taste buds.
A lot of Americans put ice cubes in their white wine too. Sometimes barbarians are found in American suburbs, cloistered around a barbecue eating burnt meat.
Actually, I drink ice-cold beer for it's weight loss properties, not because I like it. Heating liquid is an energy intensive activity, and for the body to heat up a pint of ice cold beer to 98.6 degrees requires the burning of a lot of calories. The more ice cold beer you drink, the more calories you burn, the more weight you lose.

:eek: You drink ice-cold beer for its weight loss properties? How about...don't drink beer? Go for a run, use a rowing machines, lift weights?Quote by: Zeebadee
In terms of calories, beer is pretty awful, Screwdrivers are better, even if they are a womans drink. Maybe a whisky sour then.

Scotch & water, no ice. Cognac, straight. Real men drink whiskey.
Agreed. (expensive habit, though)

They are magic drinks, if you can get a bird to drink three of them while keeping up some kind of coherent conversion, luvvin' is on...
Sugary, fruity alcohol drinks aimed at hiding the alcohol tastes so that 12 year olds can happily drink them, or that seems to be the idea behind them. I used to drink them when I started going on nights out because they used to be the ones on a deal, like 3 bottles for 1. They go down easy, so you don't realise quite how drunk you are. Oh, and they fucking kill your teeth by the next morning.
They mostly taste like lemonade, or lemonade with orange, cherry, apple etc

Sounds like the recent wave of malt liquor energy drinks we've had here recently like Sparks and Tilt. More sugar than alcohol...

These alcopop drinks probably had their origin in the British shandygaff, which is beer mixed with ginger ale, 7-up or lemonade. With all their great lagers, ales and stouts, I couldn't believe it when I saw patrons order that vile mixture. Although mainly a woman's drink, I saw a few men order it.
In Pennsylvania they put tomato juice in their beer. Weird.
Is alcopop analagous to things like wine coolers, mike's hard lemonade, and Smirnoff Ice here in the States?
