Interesting. I love Stella. I don't think it has the social implications here as it does in Europe (i.e. If you drink it, you're a dirtbag)

Oh come off it!

Canadian beer is like having sex in a canoe. FFing close to water.

Stella tastes like crap. That's its main problem.

I'll take Heineken or Carlsburg anyday over it.
However, nothing beats La trappe.

That's a household Canadian joke about American beer, you mook. Get it right!

Canadian beers are 5%. Anything lower is a light beer.

Mid-week drinking? How to get away with it the next morning?

Well I don't too much, and when I do it's just beer. But beer stinks next morning.

If I indulge in a mid-week celebration I know I smell of it next morning, so advice please.... 😉 Cos I have one coming up.

One of my colleagues swears on bacardi n coke...... but I don't drink shorts.

So n. And I'm talking TsingTao level, Stella Artois level??

Any experts on how to do it? 😛

what's severely lacking in your post is rock'n'roll attitude, man. get in some of that 9%+ Belgian beer, drink til you can't stand up and if your boss says anything, tell him to stick his job where the sun don't shine, trash the workplace, piss on his tyres, hit the road, don't look back. then just drive around whatever country you live in having crazy adventures.

EDIT: ...until your money runs out. then go crawling back and beg for your job back.

It's actually a Monty Python joke about American beer 😉

America, Canada? I can't see no difference.

Sadly, I can't either.

Here's some interesting info on the two types of beer:

Government regulations require that all beer sold in Canada show the alcohol concentration (alcohol concentration by volume) on the label. A standard bottle of beer (341 mL and five percent alcohol by volume) contains 17.05 millilitres of alcohol. In most nations, the labelled alcohol percentage is either the average or maximum percentage allowed. However, as of 1927, most Canadian provinces require the minimum alcohol percentage to be labelled rather than the average. This move was meant to eliminate inaccurate nonalcoholic labelling as well as fraudulent advertisement.[1]

The rationale for standardizing alcohol content (since loosened and disproved) is that consumers would tend to select only high alcohol beers and the breweries would have a war with ever escalating alcohol content. In the USA this was solved by keeping the alcohol content a mystery to the consumer who does not make an extra effort. When alcohol content is shown on U.S. beer, it is often labelled by weight. Since alcohol is lighter than water, this can leave the mistaken impression that U.S. beer has much less alcohol, on average, than Canadian beer. A 3.2% beer in the U.S. (by weight) would be equivalent to a 4% beer in Canada (by volume). However, U.S. beer is labelled according to state laws, which unanimously dictate that the maximum alcohol percentage be labelled. As such, a 5.4% beer in the U.S. (by weight) may legally contain as little as 1% alcohol by weight. Nevertheless, many U.S. beers often label their alcohol content by volume.[2]

I rarely ever drink to get drunk.





I'm a puker. 😞

Isn't all lager?

That's why I prefer La Trappe (or any double Belgian beer)
