Which Cider for New Years Eve?
Discussion
I am rather skint recently and have decided that in order to get pissed to the highest order, I must find the most foul shit possible in order to punish myself sufficiently.
This may sound rather coarse, but there are parallels with fine wines, cigars, olive oil and the other culinary delights. See, having a finely tuned sense of taste requires a knowlegable mind and a blank pallate. Ideally, it seems that our sense of taste gradually deteriorates throughout life as our critical faculty becomes more astute. Well, as I seem to have reached a happy medium, I thought I would sod all this twoddle, fry a few tastebuds and get as
ed as possible on the least possible amount of cash.
So, folks what is the most value? (Burnt tongue, destroyed braincells, bang per buck). Personally I do not care for the consequences of afterburn (throat disorder caused by reflex-reflux) or getting arrested or beaten up.
What is the true, best "2 litres of love"?

pressed apple juice that is allowed to ferment. Its typically the tipple of street drunks, teenagers and people from dorset (who are often members of one of the other two catagories 
). I quite like it as a change to beer occasionally, its just very strong and likely to result in much chundering 
Friend of mine started off on this and by the end of the night was asking for a pint of scrotum sack

Of course Scrumpy Jack is now one on Bulmers' brands and a lousy job of marketing it they do too. This is the best cider you can get imho, not the cheapest, and if you can find somewhere that sells draft prepare for a heady evening. Don't care for the warm flat stuff some places sell, even though it is lunatic soup in strength.
In the US alcoholic cider is known as hard cider.
Believe it or not Cider (Local Stuff) is actually banned in Looe, near me. The most hilarious part was the authorities were getting concerned with people not being able to walk after a few pints/losing complete co-ordination, fighting and generally losing grip on life. It is properly banned from sale. When a chemist make did an analysis on it, in an attempt to correlate this sort of behaviour with some chemicals, what he found was truly amazing.
Apart from water, apple "compounds" and the expected ethanol (about 12%) there was a significant amount of Methanol (poisonous) and Propanol (whatever the hell that does).
It was properly heavy shit. This thread was merely a humerous alternative to "Which snobby tipple". Personally, I think cider is absolute filth and should be made illegal.
The amount of rough birds I snogged when 16 and inebriated

As a chemist, I would expect that the effects were entirely due to ethanol. BUT. Take the effects (different) from drinking a few pints of Guinness OR Stella. There are definately peculiarities between drinks, I don't think it is psychological, it must be something to do with physiological action of some extra ingredient.
For me. My different effects from different tipples.
Guinness/Wine=Phlegmatic
Stella/Spirits=Very rowdy and offensive, Choleric.

Wait, why should it be banned again? That's no reason to prohibit people from drinking something, just because it could kill them or make them crazy!
