Do you like Guiness?

[electrogirl]

Erm, I don't know if you know, but I drink Guiness now. Yeah,that's right, 'what do you want to drink electrogirl? white wine like normal?'..'erm no actually I'll have a pint of the black stuff please LOL..'

Yeah didn't see THAT one coming didya?!!!

Oh god hang on, is me boasting about this like when girls boast about liking football? Or Top Gear? Oh god that would make me feel sick, I'll move on.

So yes, I like Guiness with blackcurrant in please, do you like Guiness?

Guess how many calories are in it.
Guess.
Go on.
Same amount as a roast dinner?
NO! Less than a pint of beer actually. I checked over 4 websites because I thought they were all lying to me but yeah, not so many calories.

And it's surprisingly light, really. Although it did make me constipated for a couple of days when I drank lots of it. Now you probably didn't need to know that but I didn't want you to think I'd started working for the Guiness marketing department or something. I like to report all the facts.

sO DO YOU LIKE IT?

 

[Voley]

[Geri]

I used to drink it all the time when I was in my 20s. Not with blackcurrant in it though. Do you put lime in lager as well?

[Greebo]

No, IMHO it tastes unpleasantly similar to vomit.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

It's good stuff.

[electrogirl]

Now, what do people think about the calorie revelation? Interesting yes? If I do say so myself.

 

[electrogirl]

Hmmm..interesting.

This is turning out to be a most intriguing thread.

 

[Voley]

I never think about calories when I'm drinking, I never think about calories when I'm not drinking, now you bring the topic up, I have briefly thought about calories

Blackcurrent, the best way to spoil a Guiness. I guess you are a girl though.

Try it with a shotglass of Port sitting at the bottom of the pint. It's good.

I have stopped thinking about calories now, it was a brief flirtation with the idea of calories

Yeah I'm a girl but I love top gear and football lol.

 

[Geri]

In the pub I used to work in, people drank half lager & half guinness with blackcurrant in.

Freaks.

So an unattractive one then.

 

[electrogirl]

Has anyone said to you that there are the same amount of calories in a pint of guiness as a roast dinner though? Has anyone ever said that to you?

That IS weird. I've seen peopeldrink Guiness with Tia Maria in.

 

[Looby]

I'm not a fan of the guinness. I really enjoyed it once but I was really pissed and thought it was lager. Apart from that no.

I am surprised about the calorie thing though, I thought it would be a lot more calories that other drinks.

Very interesting leccy.

 

[electrogirl]

Thsi thread is really hotting up I'm really getting excited now.

 

[kained&able]

don't like guiness, do like killkenny though.

Electrogirl thinks guiness tastes of bacon(allegedly), lol.
