Message OnTheTrail beers 1271 º places 37 º 18:20 Wed 5/17/2017 So. Sometimes I buy several singles from Total Wine, with the intention of drinking one on Saturday, one on Sunday, and then the rest at the end of the week - not before Wednesday. But then I get a "craving" and I drink the next one on Monday night. Now while I do not drink heavily, some say when you have a craving, that is a warning sign. Naturally I was concerned - am I becoming an alcoholic? O’douls Amber Ale gave me a chance to check. Yes, the "beer: in my fridge that Monday night was an O’Douls. Almost no alcohol. But. A tick. More important, a style tick. My 71st. and yup, the craving was there. And I couldn’t resist, I drank the O’Douls. When I finished my rating, and saw my styles number go from 70 to 71 - ahhhh! Like most addicts, I was immediately focused on my next hit - Eisbock, here we come.

Message Countbeer beers 6586 º places 259 º 00:14 Thu 5/18/2017 If craving for beer ends with cheap lager that’s a sign of alcoholism...
Message imdownthepub P beers 26051 º places 2103 º 02:18 Thu 5/18/2017 I look forward to my daily rate which I tend to enjoy while cooking and then eating dinner. Just the one, it’s good to take it easy and really taking my time over it. I cannot see the harm even if it is a little addictive. It’s all part of the rhythm of living and it relaxes me. There are worse things you could be doing.

Message GTAEgeek beers 5640 º places 552 º 10:21 Thu 5/18/2017 Hello OnTheTrail! Thank you for sharing. I am also a tickoholic. When asked, by a bartender trying to figure out what beer to get me, what kind of beer I like, my usual response is, "The one I haven’t tried before."

Ask for a Chocolate Brownie flavoured Light Lager and see if he’s got one. <*))))))><
