I've heard of Jim Beam ghost before, even though I've never tried it yet. While I know that a lot of people love the Jim Beam brand, personally what I've tried in the past I've never really been a big fan of. I will try it, but I'm not too optimistic if I'll enjoy the experience!

Many people tend to stick to what they know, and when it comes to trying beer they are no different. There are that many different varieties of beer around these days, that trying them all will be almost impossible. I do agree though, and I think the only way to try and broaden your horizons...

Also for most of us on here, I'd imagine that Red Stripe is the only one that we have actually heard of also. With every country in the world when it comes to beer, there are many different varieties to choose from when you are actually IN that country. Outside of it though there only tends to...

When it comes to Caribbean beers I think that the most popular without question around the world will be Red Stripe. Red Stripe is like what Budweiser is to the US, or what Stella is to Belgium. That isn't to say that the people from that country ONLY drink that one particular brand, but they...

I think that people who drank wine USED to be considered cultured but these days I'm not sure that still applies. Over here in the UK at least, more and more people are choosing to drink wine than ever before and now its not unusual for people to buy a few bottles of wine instead of beer or...

It depends what I am drinking and other factors when it comes to how much I can drink and not get drunk. If I am stressed and not had much to eat that day then I tend to only be able to have a couple of pints before I start to feel the effect. If I know that I am going out that night for a...

Society as a whole as changed though, and a few years ago people wouldn't have even dreamed of going out carrying a knife or a bat, but these days it seems as if it's almost the norm in some cities. There as always been some trouble in bars and pubs, that's inevitable I think because wherever...

In my younger days, I used to be employed as a doorman, trying to keep out those kind of people, so I know only too well about 'nuisance creators' as you so politely put it! These days, no matter how good the security is though, things are a lot worse now than what they used to be. I'm not even...

Warm beer for me is a definite no also, and I have to say that I don't know one person that does drink warm beer to be honest. I'll admit that I CAN see the point in that if a beer is served too cold then it can lose some of the taste, but that's why most manufacturers and brewers now also say...

I'd imagine that there will have been research done to say that drinking alcohol everyday is bad for you, but like I said, I think a lot depends on just how much you drink. Here in Europe, in some countries at least, it's customary to have a glass or two of wine with a meal, and that as been...

The cost is actually a big factor for a lot of people when it comes to craft beer, and that's why people want to know exactly what goes into it, because they are paying more. For a good quality craft beer, I think people are prepared to pay the extra money, but if it's just a normal lager...

I agree and whatever the most popular drink is at the time, tends to be the one that people think is the best and that's not the case at all. These days it seems like there are new and 'trendy' beers coming out every week, and even though they may be popular because they are the new kid on the...

I'm not sure that I would go as far as to say it is 'good for the soul' and your health and well-being, haha, but I do take your point. People need a place to relax and unwind, and here in the UK the most obvious place to do that was the pub. I think a lot of people used to look down on those...

What constitutes a good beer will be different depending on the person drinking it I feel. What I think is a good beer will be different to the next person, so it's hard to give a definitive answer. I've mentioned before about the beer and wine snobs that will state what we HAVE to look...

I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but here in the UK, a pub is still a big part of the local community and it's not just a place to go and have a drink, but also a place where you can go and meet your friends, family, neighbours and a place to relax with other local people around you, so...
