What is alt.drunken.bastards about? According to Nippleboy,
"It's about getting pissed, and then telling all your friends about it. It's about meeting people here, then finding someone in your area and getting together for a good drinking session. It's about flying across a continent, or even to a different continent to meet other drunks. It's about always having someone to drink with when you're traveling. It's about booze and computers and booze and life and booze and sex and booze and drinking and work and booze and hangovers and booze. Oh, and booze. As long as it's not a spam or a best/worst booze/beer thread, it's pretty much about that.

Welcome, and I'm off to my going away party to drink. Woohoo!

Commercial Links
Bandersnatch Brewery & Restaurant in Tempe, Arizona. A great place to go before a Cardinals game or just for a bit of British culture (BTW, the name refers to a creature in the Jabberwocky poem)

Bass Ale, one of my two favorite brews. When I visited England, the closest drinking establishment was a Bass "house"

Bulmer's "Cider Surfer's Arms is a web site dedicated to the various brands made by HP Bulmer. When I was in England, my first exposure to cider was their Strongbow brand. Back in America, I drink their import version of Woodpeckers (it's lower in alcohol content, probably owing to import laws). I even brought a case of it to the Vegas '97 CiderFest.

"Drink Online Magazine", formerly known as "Beer Across America Magazine" (rumour has it that one of ADB's own writes for them)

The Malibu Beach House. Malibu is a wonderful, coconut-flavored rum, great for making Bahama Mammas and other tropical drinks.

Newcastle Brown is my other favorite brew. I thank Sondra for turning me onto this wonderfully nutty beer

The ThirstyBear Brewing Company. I just loved the name (seeing as my nickname, "Oso", is Spanish for "bear".

Tombstone Brewing is home to ADB's Brent Killion. Featuring a full line of their own microbrews, you can also pick up a bite to eat at the 202 Grill.

Woodchuck is my cider of choice (I brought 2 cases of it to the Vegas '97 CiderFest). Try the Dark (and dry) or Amber (and sweet). I can't comment on the Granny Smith.
