Not a lot in comparison, but more than a few. All my friends who drink beer prefer Newcastle or Guinness. And I'm past the get drunk and do embarrassing things stage in my life.

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

@Lordhat - C'mon man - it's never too late to make a tit of onesself! I proved this last weekend by dancing with no shirt on in my local pub - and I'm 27.
Pish and tush! That was just a lucky find on the Internet.
At my company, one guy got so drunk at the Christmas party he came back to the office in the middle of the night, was unable to unlock the door to his own room, and took a leak in a wastepaper bin in the corridor, before collapsing.
We got it all on the security camera.
Another time, one of the programmers got so drunk he had a fight with the managing director and a Christmas tree, then it looked like he was going to die, so two of his mates took him to hospital. They pumped his stomach and put him on a drip overnight. In the morning he was a bright as a new button, and had no trace of a hangover, while his two mates were totally screwed from having waited the whole night in Emergency while drunk themselves.
Another programmer wasn't so lucky. When he got that pissed, his "mates" left him on a park bench with a couple of tramps and took away his mobile phone.

Last night it was guinness, because we know how to make stout.

London Pride and Hob are great. As are any ales by the Badger Brewery, especially First Gold, Golden Glory and Firsty Ferret.
Harveys and Darkstar (local sussex brewers) are also brilliant.
My birthday is coming up soon so it's time to order another 10pint keg from the brewery for the night. Yum.
I find Darkstar a little hit and miss in my experience. But when it's good, it's nigh on perfection. Wychwood however, I find to be more dependable. You know you're getting a quality pint when it's Wychwood.
And now to drink that bottle of 80/- I got last week. Been saving it for when I felt I really deserved it, as part of proving to myself I am not in fact alcohol dependant. Spent a fortnight booze free, and haven't missed it a bit.

You sure that's a good idea, mate? If you're anything like your pals, it could end in a punch-up! I'll have no trouble in my establishment....this is a family pretend pub.
Pish and tush! That was just a lucky find on the Internet.
Sure. . . but it was on video and that video was posted!
If its text. . . let's see.
One night I watched a couple of my friends spar with real swords (in a tiny hallway, no less) while out of their respective gourds. I, and another friend, were at least sensible enough to tell them that even lacking sobriety we could tell they were in for trouble and should stop. A minute later one friend hits the other in the eye with a weapon and turns around with an "OMG I just killed him" look on his face. The two of us watching returned an "OMG you just killed him" look.
Turns out the blade had caught the other guy's skull and flipped his head back. The blood running down his face/hand was from the eyelid/eyebrow being almost bisected - the eyeball was 100% untouched.
I am not sure that compares, but I did (and still do) think it funny.
