Spending

[S O F I]

yep. everything is short term when you're a student. i was being reckless with my spending. now i'm already thinking how much money should I set aside a month for retirement haha.

Ten bucks can't get me 20 beers in a hole in the wall "come in unknown and get shot" bar in a village in Bosnia so you must mean the price of beer at a discount store. I doubt you can go to a bar in any part of Warsaw and spend only $30 zlaty on 20 beers.

Yeah, at a discount store. Of course it's more expensive in a bar. It's about 2$, up to 3$ a beer in more expensive places.

 

[S O F I]

yeah, that doesn't count, masta. for the purposes of this thread lol.

I thought it was about all expenses. I just pointed out that I don't spend much on alcohol I do spend much more money on other things and I don't keep track of them. I just make rational decisions when spending.

I get beer for about $1.79. It's not some special price, like for Happy Hour. It's just shitty ol' Caribbean beer, that's got more alcohol than shitty-ass American beer.

I thought everything has got more alcohol than American beers.

america has the best beer in the world in terms of flavor, creativity, and variety. but you have to be in america to drink it. we only export the lame shit.

don't take my word for it. take BBC's word for it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01gf4l0

we regularly dominate in competition:

Are you talking strictly about Sam Adams? Because that seems to be the only beer foreigners acknowledge from the States.

All Americans do is make beer pong beer. Keystone, Natty Light, Busch Lite. Bud and Miller Lite. You ever have Natty Ice? I actually enjoy tasting shitty beer and drinking a good bit of it. Milwaukee's Best, anyone? Try the Ice for an extra shitty time.

coonie, clearly, you're misinformed. not even misinformed, just not informed.

 

[masta247]

lol. Honestly, I haven't heard about any American beers nor have I seen one in stores. I would try one if I saw one but I don't think you guys export much.
And frankly, I don't drink beers for taste too. Until it doesn't taste like utter shit I can still get tipsy with it. And it's harder with beers with less alcohol. I don't want a higher pissing/alcohol ratio.

When I was in Canada I bought a beer called "Molson Canadian" and it didn't taste bad but it was really light on alcohol and sold in those funny, small cans. I was also in a few local breweries and there the beers were stronger, but I didn't like the taste.
So far my favorites are Czech beers, Polish beers and German beers.

Molson Canadian is the Budwiser of Canada. There are better choices in Canadian beer.

Portland is known as "Beervana" for having more microbreweries than anywhere else in the US. It obviously follows logically that the best beer I had was there. Beer I had in Germany was great too.

 

[Pittsey]

I thought Belgium and Germany was the best place for beer.

Belgium has brilliant beers.

 

[S O F I]

Belgium

lol. Honestly, I haven't heard about any American beers nor have I seen one in stores. I would try one if I saw one but I don't think you guys export much.

There are reasons why this is so. If you'd like to learn more, there's a good documentary on how big corporate conglomerates that make shitty beer are controlling advertising and distribution channels preventing micro-breweries (that make the best beer) from competing in the US and global market. It's called Beer Wars.

So far my favorites are Czech beers, Polish beers and German beers.

Yeah, you probably just like lagers. That's all. It probably doesn't matter much where it comes from. AKA you'd fail a taste test between a lager brewed in buttfuckville, oregon and one in germany.
