Quote: "^^Nope, go for the mead"
Agreed! I'm not a big beer man, but I quite liked Snake Bite, which is beer+cider. I am more of a cider drinker to be fair, however, there was one straight beer I did like and that was Innis and Gunn (I think) they have a beer brewed in a rum soaked cask, so the rum flavours the beer. In fact, here's
a link. I think this goes more along the lines of what nonZero is saying, don't buy cheap.
My 21st birthday was actually mostly filled with Jagermeister, which is a good drink - I don't think I drank much for my 18th (UK legal drinking age). But I do love drinking shots myself, but they do have the side effect of getting you drunk quicker.
In terms of spirits, I am a fan of rum (light & dark & spiced), whiskey, Jager and vodka.
Sometimes I like to go for the more obscure drinks, mead is damn nice (well, good mead, I've had bad mead before). I've been known to go for
Drambuie as well (like a sir!).
However, I feel I should say, drink responsibly my man, I've always been a responsible drinker and still managed to have an awesome time partying with friends and getting home safely. Know your limits.
Now, if you want some good songs to drink to, develop a taste for Korpiklaani, a band from the wonderful country of Finland. Every Fin I've met have been great drinkers of alcohol and I would trust their ways with booze...but then I've only ever met 2 Fins and they were drunk.
Anyway Yodaman, I'm not sure how it'd affect her chances of having kids, I'm not a doctor, but this discussion reminds me of an old house mate. She had a rare bone disease, which meant she spent a lot of time in the hospital as a child and the disease did risk her life and still has problems today and still gets operations and occassionally has problems walking, but as far as the danger goes, she's out of that. She's been going out with her boyfriend for 4 years now (they live together now), when we were living in the house together she had a similar conversation with me. Her concern about having kids was not so much would she be able to have them, but a question of whether or not they'd be born with the same illness, because there was a chance of it happening and she wouldn't want to take the chance.
So it's possible that's a concern for your girl. However, it isn't the end of the world, the conversation I had with my ex-housemate went in the direction of other avenues. I mean if you two married and then decided you wanted children you've got alternative options. There's adoption, you could have a surrogate mother and if there's a problem with fertility (and not the concern of it being genetically passed down) then there's some things medical science can do for you.
