JJL- "rarely sober scots = yes, our beer is better than yours."
hehe- it's not my beer, though there is brewery here in PA, Yuengling (German in origin) that does good (and cheap) beers. Even my friends from home visiting admitted it was good.
I must say my American friends here are a bit lightweight, 3 pints and they're usually done. (or maybe I'm just hanging with the wrong crowd).
My dad was a right boozer, he would delight me with stories of how he fell down steps in snowy Edinburgh (those steep ones between the streets), fell off a gangway in Brooklyn into a cargo net while his ship was in drydock, and crashed his vw beetle into a fence in Australia. I have a long way to go to match up...
