Delirium Tremens, too. (The beer, not the explanation for Tinsley's poor drawing skills.)<BR/><BR/>Ianrey -- great point!<BR/><BR/>Kaitlyn -- I concur wholeheartedly with rewinn. When you turn 21, stay away from the light beers. And stay away from Bud, Coors, Hamms, Icehouse and the like. (My dad gave me a sip of his Hamms when I was a kid. Probably one of the reasons I was never tempted to drink beer before I turned 21.) Believe it or not, not all beers even smell the same, let alone taste the same. When you're of age, there's nothing wrong with easing your way in with a chick beer like Pyramid Apricot Ale. If you like it, eventually you'll want to try sampling several different styles of beer. Find out whether you like light-colored beers like india pale ales or pilsners, or dark beers like porters and stouts, or something in between, anywhere from a blond to an amber or a nut brown ale. (I tend to prefer from ambers down to the dark end of the spectrum.) Once you've tried a few, color often gives you a good rule of thumb for what you're probably going to like (although it can be fun to experiment with whatever name catches your eye -- I picked up on Arrogant Bastard and DT solely because of the names). Most important -- know your limits and have friends along who'll watch out for you!Gold-Digging Nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387594651068912202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33297721.post-86897702790166490742008-08-04T19:31:00.000-07:002008-08-04T19:31:00.000-07:00Don't panic, Bruce.
