Too bad everything else is more expensive or I'd want to move.

Cut-price deals are now widespread. Last week, Morrisons in Peckham, south London, was offering four 440ml cans of value lager or bitter for 91p, or 5.2p per 100ml. The store sells a litre of Strathmore mineral water for 89p.

i think if we can just get all the beer drinkers and sports fan in one area, we can get interesting results... it has worked before and is one way to thin the species....

While I realize there are large parts of this country under "boil water orders" and the like who have little choice other than to purchase bottled water, the vast majority of the population could profit from reading this opinion piece from The Guardian... and then they could pressure their elected representatives to ensure that resources should be put into assuring potable water to everyone.

If only there were a way to filter the water out of beer.

Then you'd have dehydrated beer. Like dehydrated water. Just add water. I think you're onto something, Snert. You'll go far, young man.

Work!! It's the curse of the drinking classes.
