Walking in a whisky wonderland.
Shit.

All you cnuts better drink more of the stuff - as will I. Guinness probably suffered after I switched to whisky.

And fight Guinness Red - it's probably shit, and a step towards soft drink status.

Get rid of WKD, Magners and whatever other soft drinks that you lot drink. They're for kids.
 
I can't imagine why they are falling.

Just had three pints for lunch, and that was before seeing this thread.
 
It's no coincidence that this news comes during the week I was in Africa.

Needless to say I will be doing my best to catch up on all that lost Guinness drinking, starting from tonight. It's the least I can do really.
 
Magners tastes of water. Don't get why people drink it. Try Savannah instead, you can get it at South African shops. Lovely stuff.

is that the stuff in yellow bottles?

"dry, but drinkable" is the tagline or something

Guinness is a proper man's drink, like whiskey.

You can stick yer alcopops up your arse.

Edit: don't much like to get pissed on Guinness to be fair. But there's no better pint to nurse on a cold Sunday afternoon.
 
I'll have to do my bit, I promise next time I get smashes it's off Guinness.

Don't get me wrong I'll have one every week or so, it's just not one of my faves. Whiskey, though, I love had some Knob Creek and Coke last night that was money, you gotta the 100 proof stuff
 
never had a nice pint of it outside Ireland, is it hard to get a nice, well poured pint in England?
 
Maybe people avoid Guiness because it turns your shit black. God knows what effect Guiness Red has. Could be quite disturbing the next day...

Much nicer in Ireland (Liffey water) and most bar staff in England can't be arsed to serve it properly. Big chains hate it because it doesn't fit with HVVD (high volume vertical drinking). Dying out like a lot of the decent English bitters to be replaced by fizzy piss water.

Guinness isn't a travelling ale, it is best drank at the source, same as Tetleys'.

I am a Guinness man, especially if I have a massive hangover, I find it is the perfect pick me up.

The manager of our student union is an Irish feller. Whenever I walk in and he catches me, he will pour a Guinness with a perfect shamrock in the top. That it the way
 
Weaste can explain why it tastes shit in most of Ireland and England
 
i hate the stuff. i have enough problems with my bowel movements without drinking that stuff

Well worth spending money on Whiskey, a good 21 year old irish one in my opinion.

They gave it to my mum when she was recovering from virus pneumonia years back. This was in an irish hospital though.
 
Magners is for cockslaps. FACT!

Guinness on the other hand is lovely and not chemichal shite!

Wkd/Magners they are the same thing.
 
Guinness is better than most beer. Let's be honest the weaker gay stuff is for girls.

Red Guinness appeals to me though. I hope it's strawberry flavour.
 
Has anyone tried red guiness and what is it?

Is it the same as Murphys red? As that is nice.
 
Just done a search on google..... John Smith's style bitter people are saying.

In that case if it's anything like Murphys red it will be lovely. I've only had strawberry beer in Belgium never found it anywhere else.
