Advantages: It's good for you

Disadvantages: Piles on the pounds

Guinness
A thick brew that is only mildly bitter
Smooth, creamy and black
A wholesome brew, traditional, born of the Emerald Isle
A man's drink, working class... well it used to be
In recent years it's become more 'trendy' and therefore less exclusive.
But it remains a dear old friend who never lets you down
Black as tar
Full of secrets.
With a lovely well proportioned head
The stuff of legend
A meal in itself and full of iron... so they say.
It's good for you... it must be.
But watch out, it's heavy and can pile on the pounds.

I once drank nine pints and ended up in a rough part of Liverpool in a rough part of a pub where I was entertained by a man eating a pint glass. And when you've drank nine pints of Guinness it's impossible to make a quick get away because your legs turn to lead. If you do manage to exit you have to walk slowly with straight legs because you can't bend your knees.

My last pint cost me £2.60 and it tasted even lovelier whilst watching Liverpool beat Man Utd 2:1.

Still worth every penny!

Summary: An iron brew from Ireland
