    Addlestones... we used to call it Addlebrain in my local

    One of the regulars, a chap in his early forties, used to drink six or seven pints of it a night, every night. After about six months of this he woke up one morning feeling as if he was going to die. He managed to drag himself down to A&E, where he was seen quite quickly due to his dreadful appearance.

    The doctor examined him and announced cheerfully "It's OK - you've just got DTs"

    He switched back to lager after that

      Yes, it's not a session drink

        In the days of my youth in Cornwall we used to drink the local scrumpy. Farmers sold it by the 5 gallon barrel for about £10, no extra charge for the bits in it.

        Tasted like apple juice and straw, 2 pints and you'd have trouble walking.

        We'd sling the barrel on a scaffold pole and take it with us on a friday or saturday night out.

          Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
