I understand, but what flavor would you use to describe it, if you had to?

its all in your head, guinness draught actually is pretty comparable to bud light as far as cals/carbs and alcohol content.

It's not the calories, it's the thickness. I haven't had one in a while, but seems like it would be slamming a milkshake.

Since Guinness uses beer gas for carbonation, not straight CO2, its definitely not all in his head. Very different mouthfeel.

ya, but mouthfeel and actually being a thick beer imo are different though. A thick beer imo is somthing like boddingtons, where guiness while its dark, doesnt sit in my belly and weigh me down, so chugging it may be harder than budlight, but the after affects are no diff. This may be all in my head, idunno.

I've never had Dr. Pepper confused with Wild Cherry Pepsi, but back when I drank Mt Dew by the gallon I would frequently ask for it only to be confronted with "We don't have Mt Dew, but we do have Sierra Mist" ... bleck.

I see Dids' point. I can "pound" Guinness just fine, but "slamming" one isn't so easy, if I have my beer drinking verbiage correct.

It annoys me when I want Coca Cola, and they ask if Pepsi is okay. No, it's not fine, but I'll take it anyway.

Nit.


Customer- Coke please.

Waitress- Sorry we don't have coke.


90% of people couldn't care less if its coke or pepsi and would rather just be offered the alternative.

The percentage of Americans that drink one and don't care for the other is much higher than 10% imo.

I have never seen someone order a Pepsi/Coke and then order something other than the alternative.

We were at a Denny's one time and my buddy asked for a Dr Pepper. The waitress said "Sorry we don't have any Dr. Pepper, but we do have Root Beer." Another buddy says "Yeah Travis get a Root Beer because those are the same thing." We all started laughing and our waitress was not very happy.

Is beer gas not just nitrogen? I've always wondered if Guinness is at the top of a black and tan because it's lighter or just because of the different gases.
