Live your life well, make your own judgements based on your personal experience, take care of family and friends and leave the loons (politicians, terrorists, fashionistas, trendies, political activitists, racists) to carry on with their idiocy. Chances are they won't make any difference anyway.

I am very happy, but slightly worried about house proses and immigrants.

at least from the bottle you know it is only water malt and hops
was in an interesting pub the other day in scandinavia and they had bottled Adnams Bitter - very nice and no hangover - as it contained only water malt and hops
stick with the German/Czech/Austrian beers and you will be ok.

It might be the only way when prohibition starts.

You need to get down to bitter at 3.8% or less or even better if you can handle the embarrasment ( and live Oop North ) then mild at almost unalcoholic strength is the way forward. Drinking halves in the form of bottles as the youth of today do is totally unacceptable when on a session.

There must be a scary amount of bad chemicals in stella for it to have the effect it does, seeing it has the same alcohol content as Guinness.
I can still actually drink about 10 pinst of Guiness and be OK. The same amount of stella and I'd be a gibbering wreck.
