whats the point of going to the pub then? Might as well stay at home to drink soft drinks........

I prefer Smirnoff Black Ices or a lager of some sort, but not Stella

Horses for courses&#33; Depends on the weather, at the start or end of the season when the sun is shining there&#39;s nothing better that sitting outside the pub with an ice cold lager.
In the winter you can&#39;t beat a nice pint of bitter or Guinness inside a cosy warm pub.

Right now I fancy a pint of Fosters down the Slug &amp; Lettuce&#33;

The point of pubs is to see your mates, which is where public house is derived from. If your sole intention is drinking alcohol, you may as well go to the off-licence and stay in.

But, of course, getting pis.sed out of your head is such a great thing as it makes you one of the lads and in no way moronic or a statement of such a lack of self-confidence that you need alcohol to feel comfortable.

Do you not drink either then? As well as Hamstring?

The point of the pub is too get away from the house in my point of view, and a few turps goes down well especially after a hard day or week at the office.

It is a stress release and sitting at home with a few cans just isnt the same and a big group of you down the pub getting w***ered and talking bollox.

Don't need alcohol to say and do stupid things.    

I'm with Hamstring there - invariably a soft drink for me, although occasionally a pint of bitter (e.g. a Spitfire at the Spread).

Since going to Roots Hall is invariably about catharsis and suffering as opposed to enjoyment or entertainment, I find that I cannot get the full "benefit" of the experience unless I am wholly or mostly sober.

But then I'm a strange sort, I suppose...
