I had a can of guiness a couple of months ago, first time ever.  Havent drunk lager since, only thing is I drink twice as much of it and I dont get as drunk for some reason. Now i'm eating again I should put some weight back on. No more shandies for me 

Anyone else drink it?

[CaptainZok]

I have been known to sample the odd can of Nigerian Lager, purely for medicinal reasons of course.

The problem with Guiness is that it slips down too easy and a couple is never enough

[Rods2]

Yes, but normally only if a pub has no real ales. Keg beers really bloat me, but Guiness doesn't.

[SteveAvfc.]

  But one or two is never enough.

Never used to touch stuff, had one after about 5 pints of stella, did not sit well 

However MrsT is Irish, so well, I was "informed" I had to drink Guinness

So started drinking it, really like it now. When in the pub I usually opt for that over Larger, nothing has beaten the taste of Guinness from Dublin Factory though. Had one in their bar, lovely stuff.

I find though it is easy to get it wrong, larger is the same, but you can get a bad pint of Guinness if its poured wrong or miss-treated in transit.

This one was poured just at the factory

What can the publican "get wrong" about lager? It isn't a live product like beer.

Think you miss-understood, i should have made it more clear, I meant larger is the same, as in you cannot get it wrong. But Guinness you can 

[Richie London]

I say one thing. I was shocked when I went to loo the next morning after 10 pints of the stuff

I don't know if it ever travels "darn sarf", but if you ever get a chance to experience "Theakston Old Peculier" - try it.

I find it a very similar taste to guinness, but slightly more palatable, and it doesn't sit as heavily on the stomach.
Be warned tho - it has twice the effect of Guinness. If you try to drink 10 pints of it, you will know about it! (or not, as was the case with me - until the next afternoon - I still don't know how I got home. I fell asleep in Leeds, woke up in a pub in Wakefield  )

.. apart from selling it to you in the first place instead of giving you a slap and telling you not to be so stupid?

[tigers_gonads]

Love the stuff but only drink it if i know the lines are kept clean
only need one bad pint and it totally ruins your day

if any of you girls find yourself's in a Sams Smith pub, try there Irish stout 
imho it even better and quite a bit stronger

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The demon drink has much to answer for.

Repent I say, and take up reading the good book instead, while there is still hope.

[symes]

no sorry -tried it-didnt like it-stick to Makers Mark
