Yeah fuck brain cells kids don't need those

You can't regenerate or reattach braincells when you're over 5 which is totally definitely the cause of alcohol based degeneration, so why not have fun while you can?

It is, or so our  aussie tour guide who has lived there for 4 years at least claimed, pretty popular and publically accepted, not much like alcopops, I think. Can any Germans clarify?

Actually turns out brain growth lasts longer than we used to think (and I used to think it was more like 18, not 5...)
About 25 or so, probably, maybe http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24173194

Relevant wtf: I am in Germany right now, and apparently, they have a "children's beer", a type of beer designed for the younger market with green and red fruit flavouring and colouring to get kids to drink it, which none of the adults like, presumably as it has way too much sugar in it.

'Children' is the wrong word here, methinks. 'Teenagers' is more like it: Those who are too young for liquor, too young for a properly refined taste; those who just want to get shitfaced and do not yet have the tolerance to make such an endeavor unfeasible with just beer.

Yeah, those drinks are shit, but causing a moral panic over them is completely unnecessary. The kids will grow out of that phase eventually.

You mean alcopops? I don't think anyone likes them. They're just... there.

My school bought a restaurant style electronic billboard to advertise themselves.

They canceled the senior trip for lack of funds.

BUT ALCOHOL IS TEH EVULS!!!11!!

...Jeez.
I guess, maybe they've been making a loss for some time and the billboard was a last-ditch effort to try and pull themselves out of the slump, but still... are you a senior?

Yup.

This is on top of the whole "secure" password shenanigans I posted about earlier.

Shshshsh, Yoink, do not proselytize. They must see the light with their own eyes, taste the hops with their own buds, metabolize the ethanol with their own livers. We cannot lead, we can only guide and gently encourage.

So here's a WTF for you. You guys know Radler 'beers' right? When some brilliant bloke decided to mix perfectly fine beer with juice to create a diluted, fruity tasting abomination. Well, recently I've been seeing ads for Radler Natural or whatever it's called. Which is alcohol free radler. I'm not sure why don't they just y'know, call it fucking juice since that's what it is at this point, juice in a fucking beer bottle.

Ah, ok, thanks. Must have misunderstood the guide, as usual Australians are to blame here.

Spoiler: Fairly random  rant about unnecessary English drinking habits (click to show/hide)

Guess it's better than in Britain where 15 year olds I know just drink vodka in order to get drunk... the really classy and intelligent one I know who does this makes screwdrivers apparently. Doesn't actually know that that is the name for mixing orange juice and vodka... amd this guy speaks 5 languages, for chrissake, has a better vocabulary than teetotal old me. Everyone I just described is uppermiddle or at least middle class... high cultural capital, many of them rich enough to buy... I dunno, wine or beer? I just don't really understand why they'd do that, with a Tory government it's the poor who need to drink away their nonexistent future, these people have no reason to have the worst possible type of alcohol in the worst manner.

Spellchecking that for glariig errors amd slurs was kinda embarassing, given the subject mattér. I hate tablet keyboards.

[Loud Whispers]

They don't get drunk at 15 that's when they quit drinking

Also I don't understand the vodkas hate, you just need more radishes

[Graknorke]

The drinking is to keep the moslems away. Eventually there will be a cloud of ethanol vapour over the islands so thick that it would be haraam to even be here.

[Loud Whispers]

Grak in times like this everyone is pagan, London is the city where Jews eat bacon and Muslims imbibe wicked toxins for truly it is squalid freedom of the halal it variety
Also I stock up on cheap Ramadan grape drank and popcorn every time the time for fasting ends

[Yoink]

Yup.

Dang. That stinks.
If you're really down about missing out on the trip, I could always source you a couple tabs of acid...

I gotta say, vodka's gotta be one of my least favourite spirits. Probably second only to rum. At least it doesn't make me hurl.

[ArKFallen]

Vodka is actually my favorite alcohol.
Non-liquors aren't very good alcohol. The amount of drinking to be drunk off beer is way too much. Wine is too slow for me to know when to stop, shit gets knocked over.

What's rum ever done to you? Vodkas and rum never hurt too many anybodies
