Strong beer in Brown Can

[Dom Tuk]

If you saw a neighbour buy a four pack of the strong beer that comes in a brown can (favourite of drunks on UK streets as a breakfast drink) and tastes really really horrid, would you change your opinion of him? That beer is really vile and i find it strange that anyone living a respectable life would want to drink that beer.

He might be going to mix it with lemonade ? ones mans drink (or ladies) maybe not to others taste? i like whisky with dandelion and burdock! :) ps only at the weekend may i add..

Don't be so judgemental - it's none of your business what he drinks.

One mans meat is another mans poison. Do you really care what your neighbour drinks and why should that change your opinion of him as a person.It may taste horrid to you ..you have obviously tried it or you what not know what it tastes like.I live a fairly respectable life and indulge in the odd drink .I like whisky and I also like Galliano lime and lemonade ...does that make me a bad person?
Buy some thicker net curtains.

Whisky yes, wine yes, spirits yes, but that drink...you know which one i am talking about.

[shaneystar2]

Yes I do ! But ..the point is why should you concern yourself with what your neighbour drinks or doesn't drink.Perhaps he has got it in for a visitor....who knows.
I'm glad you don't live next door to me.!

I used to work nights and I would have a can of Special Brew when I got home before I went to bed. I once greeted the postman with said can in hand!

Early morning drinking aside, why is there a stigma about drinking Special Brew when Duval tastes very similar and is about the same strength?

[malaise]

I think Duval is absolutely disgusting! Blech. It's just yuppie Special Brew.

Anyway, each to their own. At the end of the day, it's just a drink. I could think of a whole lot of worse things for my neighbours to be getting up to.

Vinny ...you are priceless !!

One of my old housemates used to regularly buy Special Brew just to see people's reactions when he bought it and carried it around. Maybe your neighbour is doing the same?

I know someone who buys and drinks Super T in the morning after a nightshift,yes, it`s also a well known winos drink but it doesn`t change my opinion of him,he doesn`t hide the fact that he drinks them and why should he,although I can see what you`re getting at....you are wondering if this person is a p!sshead?....if he is then so what..as long as he doesn`t bother you,you`ve got nothing to worry about

[Dom Tuk]

No i dont have a neighbour, i dont have one who buys special brew, this was a hypothetical type of question. thanks for your answers. my geraniums are refusing to come out of the ground this year.
