    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.

    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

    If you want cider, stick to a Weston's.

    No, I don't. Also have a collection of Brietlings on automatic watch winders in a glass case I don't use much either.
